"The Open Source Initiative applauds the United Nations for recognizing the
growing importance of Open Source in solving global challenges and building
sustainable solutions, and we are honored to be the first to endorse the UN
Open Source Principles," said Stefano Maffulli, executive director of OSI.
"The UN Open Source Principles comprise the same Open Source values that
drive innovation, contribute to an $8.8 trillion economic impact, and
enable organizations all over the world to achieve their objectives."

The UN and the OSI invite other organizations to join in support of the UN
Open Source Principles and in contributing to a future of open, inclusive
digital solutions worldwide.
