Freedom to share the software for good.

  • support from Community as-well-as vendor,
  • no vendor lock-in,
  • option to host on-premise or on-the-cloud,

Thanks, @Anil, the best way is by promoting a culture of integrity, which reduces data integrity risk in several ways. Try getting a full view of the open-source in your codebase with a software BOM.
