Releasing Open Source

Releasing SK Telecom software as open source

SK Telecom not only participates in the open source community but also actively supports releasing its own software as open source to collaborate with the community. This guide helps you capture the benefits of open source collaboration without creating legal, ethical, or technical problems.

This page is the starting point. Before you begin, use it to decide whether to release and what you will need.

Summary

Decide whether the project is worth releasing (see Benefits of Releasing).
Get internal approval and request a review (stage A of the Release Process).
Prepare your code following the SK Telecom Release Rules (stage B).
Set up the project (stage C), then release and operate it (stage D).

Decision Flow

Question	Next step
Is this code, used in a real product or service, worth releasing?	If so, start preparing for release
Do you have the right to release it (check third-party code, patents, sensitive info)?	If unclear, request a review first
Do you have the people and resources to support it after release?	If not, plan for them first
