DESCRIPTION
RTI's Open Community Source: Licensing and Pricing that Just Makes Sense Transportation. Energy. Defense. Industrial. Medical. These are big distributed systems with big architecture challenges. They push scale and complexity as never before. And they all face the same problem: software structure and costs are out of control. The technical response is becoming clear: standardize on common infrastructures. Unfortunately, current pricing and licensing models make this expensive. Infrastructure pricing must evolve to match infrastructure technology. RTI is responding with Open Community Source. This model offers the world's leading implementation of the OMG Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard free to software teams. It combines open community source licensing for DDS, royalty-free distribution, very low-cost commercial licenses, flexible support, and affordable advanced products. Together, the innovative technology and liberating pricing make common software architecture both achievable and affordable for the first time.

BUSINESS CHALLENGES
© 2012 RTI • COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL
Fundamental Goal: Collaboration
© 2012 RTI • COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL
Enemies of Collaboration: Cost and Licensing Terms
Root Cause: License Scope
• Most infrastructure software scoped to a Project – A concerted development effort by a distinct team of
engineers
– Infrastructure software examples: operating systems, middleware, networking stacks
• Practical implications – No sharing between licensed Projects
– Potentially high costs due to volume-based pricing schedules
© 2012 RTI • COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL
Defining an Ideal Model
• Broaden license scope to encompass multiple Projects
– Even across and between companies and government organizations
© 2012 RTI • COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL
Enable collaboration through sharing
of people, knowledge, and innovation
Economies of scale through broad use
Goal for License Fees
• Simple to understand -> don’t need a Ph.d
• Predictable -> so it can be budgeted for
• Fair -> don’t penalize small teams with small budgets
• Scale with perceived value

INTRODUCING: INFRASTRUCTURE COMMUNITY PROGRAM
© 2012 RTI • COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL
Infrastructure Community Program
• What is an Infrastructure Community?
– Any organization with a goal of adopting a common software infrastructure across groups, programs, systems or applications
– Examples
• entire government industry standards communities • individual companies or corporate divisions • development sites and multi-company joint efforts
– Any team or group of teams of reasonable size qualifies.
