Guidance for safely publishing source code in the open, and reducing the risk of AI-accelerated vulnerability discovery.
A method for giving credit to organizations that contribute code to Open Source
By tracking organizational contributions in Git commits, we can give organizations more tangible reasons to fund open source and help sustain it over time.
