Principles Promote a globally sustainable approach Open source software has global application.
In the spirit of open source where development is user and needs driven, facilitation needs to support highly desirable dynamism, adaptability, and flexibility. This approach seeks to facilitate natural processes that produce unprecedented quality, usability, and cost effectiveness. In an open source world, the success of an idea, standard, or product is measured by its practical use. This means meeting or exceeding current standards and working with legislative bodies to encourage the inclusion of open source principals in their policies.
