Elixir Achieves OpenChain Compliance for Enhanced Trust

The Elixir project has announced that it complies with OpenChain (ISO/IEC 5230), marking a significant milestone in its adherence to international standards for open source license compliance. This compliance aligns with industry efforts focusing on supply chain and cybersecurity best practices. The automated release process of Elixir, which includes signed artifacts, now benefits from increased transparency, making it easier for both commercial and community users to adopt and integrate Elixir confidently. Contributions to Elixir remain largely unchanged, with continued adherence to the Apache-2.0 License and newly established guidelines enforcing the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) for clarity around ownership. The updates reflect a collaborative effort with the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation, emphasizing a commitment to robust compliance and secure development practices. This certification is expected to enhance Elixir's viability, particularly in enterprise software contexts.
