🌱 About the First Release - 2020
In 2020, the TODO Group community released the first version of ospodefinition.org, to provide a common lexicon for describing open source programs. The definition later moved to a maintenance stage, making small changes to the original definition.
Three years later, as the OSPO becomes a more widely recognized term in different sectors, the TODO community recognizes the need to update the traditional OSPO definition to reflect current trends and be more inclusive.
