Following the Augur/8Knot, Grimoire, etc work.
We can already make a few statements that might help the case.

Edit @dpshelio Might as well review/merge this rather than leave it hanging around.

@dpshelio dpshelio changed the base branch from main to business-case December 15, 2025 18:39

Pull request overview

This PR enhances the OSPO business case document by adding concrete evidence from a recent study of UCL's open-source projects. The additions support the case for establishing an Open Source Programme Office by providing quantitative data about UCL's existing open-source ecosystem and highlighting specific risks such as unlicensed projects.

Key changes include:

  • Addition of a new "Context" section with historical data about UCL's open-source projects dating back to 1997
  • Inclusion of specific study findings (1000+ projects, 36.1% unlicensed) to strengthen the legal risk mitigation argument
  • Minor spelling and formatting corrections throughout the document

Why change the base to business-case? Why can't we merge directly to main?

Flat is better than nested.
