Open & Intelligent Software for the Radio Access Networks

The O-RAN Software Community is a collaboration between the O-RAN ALLIANCE and Linux Foundation with the mission to support the creation of open software for the RAN.
The O-RAN Software initiatives are focused on aligning a software reference implementation with the O-RAN ALLIANCE’s open architecture and specifications. The aim is to achieve a solution that can be utilized to unify and accelerate the evolution and deployment in the RAN. The community has been setup to promote open source but also to address wireless technology support for essential patents.

O-RAN
Specification
Code Project

The O-RAN Specification Code Project is an O-RAN ALLIANCE project. Its objective is to allow contributions that will acknowledge essential patents. The project leverages the O-RAN Software License.

Both project streams are managed by the project’s Technical Oversight Committee (TOC). Please visit the O-RAN Software Community wiki pages for further information.

Contributor License Agreements

To contribute code under either software project a contributor will be asked to agree to the software Contributor License Agreement (CLA).

The CLAs are managed by Linux Foundation common CLA management platform. Each project license will be handled separately, so contributors can agree to one or both licenses. There is a corporation management function as part of the CLA platform that can support whitelisting of contributors to simplify contributor management from the same company.

For any questions on the O-RAN Specification Code Project license please email license@o-ran.org.
