Description
From Free Standards Group
The Free Standards Group is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the use of free and open source software by developing and promoting standards. Key Free Standards Group projects include the Linux Standard Base (LSB) and OpenI18N, the internationalization initiative. Supported by leaders in the IT industry as well as the open source development community, the Free Standards Group fulfills a critical need to have common behavioral specifications, tools and ABIs across Linux platforms.
A well supported standard for Linux is the necessary component to Linux's continued success. Without a commonly adopted standard, Linux will fragment, thus proving costly for ISVs to port their applications to the operating system and making it difficult for end users and Linux vendors alike. With the LSB, all parties -- distribution vendors, ISVs and end users -- benefit as it becomes easier and less costly for software vendors to target Linux, resulting in more applications available for the Linux platform.
The FSG is supported by major vendors in the world of Linux including AMD, Computer Associates, Debian, Dell, Fujitsu, Google, HP, IBM, Intel, MySQL, NEC, Novell, Red Flag, Red Hat, Sun Microsystems, Veritas and many others. All major distribution vendors support the LSB standard.
