(TSE:6501)TOKYO, JAPAN, February 8, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hitachi announces conformance to OpenChain 2.1 (ISO/IEC 5230), the International Standard for open source license compliance. This standard defines the key requirements of a quality open source compliance program, and helps to both reduce errors and increase efficiency across the global supply chain. “Hitachi has been a pioneer in open source compliance both through early adoption of OpenChain in 2018 and engagement as part of the OpenChain governing board,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “Today marks a historical development for both Hitachi and the OpenChain Project. Conformance to ISO 5230 is a significant accomplishment for an organization, and in the context of Hitachi it is also a rallying cry and a lighthouse for other large companies in Japan and abroad to follow.”
