How to Successfully Implement an Open Source Management Program

Drafting an open source management program is not an easy task. It is typically drafted by policymakers within a company and requires input from various stakeholders such as legal and security experts, developers, and managers. However, most of the program participants who implement the program do not take part in the drafting process and may not understand or agree with it. This can lead to problems when it comes time to implement the program.
