Join the Open Source Pledge

Open Source

The Open Source Pledge is a group of companies with a shared commitment to paying the maintainers of the Open Source software.

The pledge aims to establish a new social norm in the tech industry of companies paying Open-Source maintainers so that burnout and related security issues, such as those in XZ and Apache Log4j, can become a thing of the past.

"Every modern business—whether they know it or not—relies on Open Source software, yet few give back. The PHP Foundation celebrates the #OpenSourcePledge, whose members have committed to correcting this imbalance. Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient OSS ecosystem. 🌱 -- The PHP Foundation"

Companies that have already signed up include Laravel, Sentry, Private Packagist, and more. You can see a full list on their members page.

If you are a company that would like to join, they ask you to pay $2,000 per year per developer at your company. Then, self-report annually with a blog post outlining your payments to maintainers.
