Why are we investing in the open source community with Eclipse Scout?
Greater investment protection, high software and service quality and with minimal dependence on individual manufacturers, with software based on Eclipse Scout we offer our customers the advantages of open source software (OSS). Since publication of the Java Scout framework under the Eclipse public license (EPL) in 2010, we have been part of the global Eclipse Foundation ecosystem and thereby receive feedback from countless software developers from around the world. The strict guidelines stipulated by the EPL ensure regular code reviews, checking of third-party licenses (complete compliance with intellectual property laws), as well as testing from a technical and functional perspective.
