Open Source

EBSI software is open source. The source code for all EBSI components is publicly available, auditable, and reusable under a European Commission–approved licence.

Commitment

EBSI software is distributed as open source under the European Union Public Licence v1.2 (EUPL-1.2).

This commitment is formalised by Commission Decision C(2022) 407 final of 19 January 2022, "on the distribution of European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) software":

  • Article 1: EBSI v2 software is released as open source under the EUPL-1.2.
  • Article 2: The decision applies to all future releases and versions of EBSI software.

Source code

All EBSI software developed by Europeum is published at:

gitlab.com/europeum/public

The repository includes the EBSI protocol libraries, API implementations, and the developer documentation you are reading now.

Licence

The EUPL-1.2 is a copyleft licence approved by the European Commission. It is compatible with a number of other open source licences, including GPL-2.0, GPL-3.0, LGPL, and AGPL.

Each repository carries a LICENSE.txt file with the full EUPL-1.2 text. Monorepos additionally include one or more LICENSES.txt files — one per package — listing the licences of third-party dependencies bundled with that package.
