welcome
OSS Watch provides unbiased advice and guidance on the use, development, and
licensing of free and open source software. OSS Watch is funded by the JISC and
its services are available free-of-charge to UK higher and further education. If
you want to find out more about open source software, we're the people to
ask.
OSS Watch is an advisory service so we can help your project build an open
development community but we cannot write your code for you.
