summary

Michelin launches a six-person OSPO in March 2024, uses GitLab internally, an internal artifactory for SBOM and scans, and a GitHub app to track public contributions. Policy decisions: Apache 2 default license, strict prohibition of GPL/AGPL, DCO + company CLA handling IP. Outcomes so far: half a million components downloaded in 2025, about 32 active contributors with 250+ external PRs, nine public projects in 2025, 757 inner-source projects, gamified badging and an AsciiDoc training-as-code project (Eclipse Oozilk).
