Sony joined OIN as part of a broader strategy to safeguard its use of Open Source technologies. By becoming a member, Sony aligns with OIN’s mission to create a patent non-aggression community — meaning that member companies agree not to assert patents against one another when it comes to the core software covered by OIN’s cross-license.

This commitment enables Sony to confidently build and deploy products that rely on Linux and other Open Source software, while reducing its exposure to patent-related legal risk.
