Code

CD10The project produces Open Source software, for distribution to the public at no charge. 1YES
CD20The project's code is easily discoverable and publicly accessible.YES
CD30The code can be built in a reproducible way using widely available standard tools.YES
CD40The full history of the project's code is available via a source code control system, in a way that allows any released version to be recreated.YES
CD50The provenance of each line of code is established via the source code control system, in a reliable way based on strong authentication of the committer. When third-party contributions are committed, commit messages provide reliable information about the code provenance. 2YES

Licenses and Copyright

LC10The code is released under the Apache License, version 2.0.YES
LC20Libraries that are mandatory dependencies of the project's code do not create more restrictions than the Apache License does. 3 4 YES
LC30The libraries mentioned in LC20 are available as Open Source software.YES

LC50The copyright ownership of everything that the project produces is clearly defined and documented. 5YES

Releases

RE10Releases consist of source code, distributed using standard and open archive formats that are expected to stay readable in the long term. 6 YES
RE20Releases are approved by the project's PMC (see CS10), in order to make them an act of the Foundation. YES
RE30Releases are signed and/or distributed along with digests that can be reliably used to validate the downloaded archives. YES
RE40Convenience binaries can be distributed alongside source code but they are not Apache Releases -- they are just a convenience provided with no guarantee. YES

Quality

QU10The project is open and honest about the quality of its code. Various levels of quality and maturity for various modules are natural and acceptable as long as they are clearly communicated.YES
QU20The project puts a very high priority on producing secure software. 7YES
QU30The project provides a well-documented channel to report security issues, along with a documented way of responding to them. 8
