OSADL is offering a service to help manufacturers comply with license obligations of products that contain Open Source software.

Fee
In contrast to the many other services OSADL is providing to its members based on the annual flat-rate service fee, this audit requires too much time and work to be offered free of charge. However, every member is entitled to undergo as many highly subsidized audits per year as OSADL shares have been purchased:
Membership level | Gold | Silver | Bronze | None |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1st audit per year | 4,000 € | 8,000 € | 12,000 € | 16,000 € |
2nd audit per year | 8,000 € | 12,000 € | 14,000 € | 16,000 € |
3rd audit per year | 12,000 € | 14,000 € | 14,000 € | 16,000 € |
Additional audit per year | 14,000 € | 14,000 € | 14,000 € | 16,000 € |
Travel expenses and accommodation may be allocated separately. VAT may need to be added, if required for a particular country.
Should an audit fail and a delta re-audit is needed to issue the certificate, the fee will be determined individually based on the effort.
