ClearlyDefined has published a three-year roadmap covering sustainability,
10+
technical investment, and adoption. AboutCode developed the roadmap together
11+
with the ClearlyDefined community following the OSI and AboutCode
12+
[Memorandum of Understanding](/blog/osi-aboutcode-clearlydefined-mou/)
13+
signed in February.
14+
15+
<!-- truncate -->
16+
17+
The roadmap is organized around three themes:
18+
19+
- **Sustainability**: stable funding and governance so the service and its
20+
curated data remain available without interruption.
21+
- **Technical foundations**: modernizing the harvest/import, curation UX, and
22+
pipelines, and aligning ClearlyDefined data with PURL, ScanCode, and the
23+
rest of the AboutCode project for efficiency gains.
24+
- **Adoption and reach**: lowering the barrier to entry for new contributors,
25+
growing the curator base, and expanding integrations with downstream adopters.
26+
27+
The full plan, including milestones, is in the
28+
[ClearlyDefined roadmap](https://docs.clearlydefined.io/docs/resources/roadmap)
29+
and is summarized in the
30+
[OSI announcement](https://opensource.org/blog/clearlydefined-a-three-year-roadmap-for-sustainability-and-growth).

The Open Source Initiative (OSI) and AboutCode have signed a Memorandum of
10+
Understanding to put ClearlyDefined on a sustainable path. ClearlyDefined
11+
is a community-run database project of license, copyright, and package metadata
12+
for open source components, and it has been a widely cited reference for
13+
software composition analysis since 2017. It makes heavy usage of ScanCode.
14+
15+
<!-- truncate -->
16+
17+
Under the MoU, OSI continues as the project's organizational steward while
18+
AboutCode takes on responsibility for the technical foundations: the data
19+
pipeline, the curation workflow, and integration with the broader AboutCode
20+
toolchain (ScanCode, PurlDB, VulnerableCode). The goal is to keep
21+
ClearlyDefined data current, improve its accuracy, and grow contributor
22+
participation.
23+
24+
For ClearlyDefined users there is no changes, just continuity: the data
25+
and APIs remain available and open, and the curation process stays open.
26+
For the AboutCode community it means a new project to maintain and support
27+
and a clearer path for license data to flow between ClearlyDefined and
28+
the rest of AboutCode.
29+
30+
Background on the agreement is in the
31+
[OSI announcement](https://opensource.org/blog/ensuring-the-long-term-sustainability-of-clearlydefined-osi-and-aboutcode-sign-mou)
32+
and the signed
33+
[Memorandum of Understanding](https://opensource.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/MoU-AboutCode-OSI-ClearlyDefined.pdf).
