Did you know that the Learning Path has been translated into 7 languages? Check out the website to see if the translation is finished into your language of choice! We currently have active efforts to finish the German and Spanish translations, so join us in the #learning-path channel if you can lend a hand!

For the patterns part of the newsletter:

In an org with multiple legal entities, sometimes legal concerns can hinder InnerSource adoption.

For example when two legal entities within an organization want to share code with each other, they may need an agreement about the terms and often a legal contract. Creating such agreements on a per-project basis takes effort and may become a barrier for sharing.

An InnerSource License can help. It provides a reusable legal framework for the sharing of source code within the organization. This opens up new collaboration options, and makes the rights and obligations of the involved legal entities explicit.

For even more InnerSource patterns see: patterns.innersourcecommons.org
