About CLIPOL | Open Project for Licensing of Industry Standards

Our Mission

CLIPOL (Collaborative Industry Project for Open Licensing) is dedicated to promoting open and accessible licensing standards across various industries. Founded in 2018, our organization works to create, document, and distribute licensing frameworks that enable innovation while protecting intellectual property rights.

What We Do

At CLIPOL, we focus on several key areas:

Standards Development - We collaborate with industry experts to create licensing standards that balance openness with protection.
Education and Outreach - We provide resources and information to help organizations understand and implement open licensing practices.
Research - We conduct ongoing research into emerging trends and challenges in licensing across different sectors.
Community Building - We foster a community of practitioners, legal experts, and industry leaders committed to improving licensing standards.

Our History

CLIPOL began as a grassroots initiative among technology professionals concerned about the increasing complexity and restrictiveness of software licensing. Over time, our focus expanded to include other industries where similar challenges exist, including gaming, cannabis, and emerging technologies.

In 2020, we formalized our organization and established partnerships with key industry players. By 2025, we have grown to become a respected voice in licensing standards across multiple sectors.

Our Team

CLIPOL is powered by a diverse team of experts from legal, technical, and business backgrounds. Our advisory board includes respected figures from academia, industry, and policy organizations who guide our strategic direction.
