Open Source Practice of LG Electronics
summary
LG Electronics builds an open‑source compliance pipeline: Black Duck scanning plus an internal site and public distribution portal (open‑source.lg.com) to handle exponential source requests, and four to five full‑time contributors for upstream work. Contributions hit 52 merged patches for 3.5 and 98 for 3.7, with >5% of some core kernel areas. A submitted USB race‑condition fix evolves into a nine‑patch community series and saves weeks of in‑house work. Remaining problems include license ambiguities, third‑party/OEM blind spots, open‑source distribution site, Black Duck, 52 and 98 kernel patches.
