summary
Step-by-step playbook for creating an OSPO: inventory which products rely on open source (some products include 800–1,000 components), prioritize the top 20–30 critical projects, publish a one‑paragraph policy, and build phased tooling for license scanning, contribution approvals and training. Examples: a legacy internal fork becomes a 200,000-line fork costing two full-time engineers; a Samsung case wins 25 million fundraising by showing product reliance; adopt an 80/20 developer time rule, use LFX mentorship and lightweight approval paths to scale safely.
