We are adding Airbus' use of Innersource patterns into various known instances.

@spier spier added the 🐅 patterns-in-the-wild InnerSource patterns that were spotted in the wild. We can extract Known Instances and new patterns. label Nov 24, 2023

Thank you for sharing these experiences with us @sicot-f !

I left one question in this review that could help us make the content even better.
Otherwise this already looks great.

It is worth mentioning that so far the software shared under this InnerSource license is mostly tooling, infrastructure, and tools lower in the stack.

Airbus created ad hoc InnerSource licenses to enable InnerSource way of working within a large part of the group.

What do you mean by "ad hoc" in this context?
Do you have a template that people should use to create their own licenses? Or do you prescribe a single one? Or something else? :)

Also can you share if you modelled your licenses after any open source license that is out there, and why?

By "ad hoc" I mean we created them from scratch (not based on open-source licenses) for the sole sake of Airbus InnerSource program. Our IP team was used to commercial licenses while developers were more familiar with open-source ones. We iterated many times to find common grounds and also comply with the transfer pricing directive. I'll see with my colleagues if I can share more. Keep you posted.

@sicot-f given the feedback you shared I am already going ahead and merging what we have here.

If you have more info that you want to share publicly, please open a new PR.

Who knows, maybe you can even share key parts of your license as part of the InnerSource License pattern, just like DB Systel did. Of course that is more effort, in terms of getting approval etc.
