How Open Source Collective handles contracts and legal agreements
As the legal representative, Open Source Collective (OSC) will need to review, and likely sign, any agreement for or on behalf of the projects we host.
Open Source Collective will legally be the organization entering into the contract and will be the signer on behalf of your project. Please remind the preparer to draft the contract with Open Source Collective as the signatory.
Contact OSC before entering into any contract and we will discuss the details with you and review/amend/sign on behalf of your project.
OSC is the legal and financial home of our hosted member projects. If you would like to support a project or collective on behalf of your company we can:
Register as a vendor to your organization, issue invoices, and manage payments on your behalf.
Provide facilities to manage your financial contributions over the course of the year, like with Funds, that can be used to contribute to open source projects.
Issue template agreements for general or event-specific sponsorship.
For example, the Apple Developer Program. Unfortunately we can not offer this to projects. Apple's agreement would be between Apple and OSC. If there was an infraction by one project, it would impact all of the projects under OSC's Apple agreement.
