Shopify joins the Open Invention Network Linux patent protection group | ZDNet [Ed: IBM-led front group that, along with other companies, seeks to basically legitimise software patents]
Shopify is a leading global e-commerce company. Its software tools are used by 1.7-million real businesses in more than 175 countries to start, grow, market, and manage retail businesses. Shopify, like so many other companies, owes its success to open-source software.
"At Shopify, we've built our platform on Ruby on Rails. We view open-source software as a key foundation for our business," said Robert Guay, Shopify senior counsel of intellectual property. "By joining the Open Invention Network, we have committed to patent non-aggression in core Linux and adjacent open-source software. We believe that this commitment will promote innovation and help enable entrepreneurs and developers to build on open source foundations without focusing on the threat of litigation. We strongly encourage all forward-looking e-commerce platforms, retailers, and other companies to do the same."
With more than 1.58 million websites running on Shopify's software, the company is a business-to-business powerhouse. Indeed, it's Canada's largest publicly traded company.
That's in no small part because, as Keith Bergelt, OIN's CEO, observed: "Shopify's platform provides not only the tools to build an online store, but also a full suite of merchant solutions, including payment processing through Shopify Payments and loans through Shopify Capital, among others. Ecommerce platforms, fintech, and financial services companies should all take note of Shopify's growth and leadership, which has been built upon open-source software going back to its launch."
