INL commenced the process of releasing many software projects from around the lab both as commercial and open source offerings. This included interfacing with external open source projects and improving the code bases in mutually beneficial open source partnerships. TD greatly expanded the variety of options available to research programs to bring their research to market effectively to ensure maximum impact. Additionally, this increased the quality of software releases and expedited development by utilizing third-party assets, with the confidence that INL can comply with the respective licenses. This is the beginning of many planned improvements and a rapidly accelerating pace of software releases as the program continues to gain momentum. With the huge success of the MOOSE framework, TD expanded its effort around releasing open source software (OSS). To facilitate this effort, Technology Deployment recruited Paul Berg, a software licensing manager specializing in open source licensing. The program began with defining and refining INL ’s process of releasing software and determining an overarching strategy around open source and commercial releases to capitalize on the strengths of each. The first project included a high-priority open source software release for the Topology Generator project. Using the team’s new capabilities in software licensing, INL was able to release the software to GitHub within hours. Throughout the process of developing this initiative, INL was able to uncover a variety of ways to streamline and refine the Success Story: New Open Source Software Program 35
