For members of the Linux Foundation, open-source software is recognized as critically essential to modern software development. Without it, the breadth and pace of innovation would plummet, and the costs to develop products and services based on software would skyrocket. Over the past several years, we've seen a destabilization of the open-source supply chain. Projects with poor security practices, malicious repo takeovers, and license rug-pulls are a small sample of the growing list of threats facing open-source users. As the largest commercial benefactors of this software supply chain, we have the most to lose. Efforts to address these issues have begun but are under-resourced and moving slowly. This is a Prisoner’s Dilemma & Free-Rider problem that needs a solution, or we are all worse off. This presentation will explore what methods can be brought to bear to increase development, oversight, and quality assurance in the open-source software supply chain to break out of the prisoner’s dilemma. How do those who invest in such work get an appropriate ROI? Can industry and governments work together to find a solution?
