By joining OIN, Alibaba affirmed its dedication to innovation through Open Source — committing to the community’s patent non-aggression principles so that Linux and other core Open Source technologies remain freely usable. This membership helps Alibaba shield its platforms and services from patent-litigation risk, enabling them to build, deploy, and scale their systems and infrastructure with confidence.

In doing so, Alibaba continues to support and contribute to collaborative development across the broader Open Source ecosystem, reinforcing its long-term strategy of openness and shared technological progress.

As part of an on-going series, we are interviewing OIN members who are sharing their stories about why they joined OIN, as well as the situation leading them to our community, the solution and the positive impact OIN participation has had on their business.
