There is no broad template for building an open source program that applies across all industries, or even across all companies in a single industry. However we can categorize the functions of a typical OSPO into three categories: Legal Risk Mitigation, Improving Engineers’ Practices and Enabling Financial Benefits. (A mnemonic: Fear, Love and Money)

**Legal Risk Mitigation:** Often, the first concern companies have is related to legal compliance. OSPOs often oversee aspects of a company’s open source license compliance process. Companies that distribute software are typically most concerned with this and initiate their OPSO around the abatement of legal risk.
