Uniting for Open Source Security | Opengrep Discussion & AMA
This is a live virtual discussion open to anyone interested in learning more about Opengrep as well as joining the project.
The initiating organizations will be present, represented by their respective CEO/CTO, including:
Willem Delbare (CTO, Aikido Security), Nir Valtman (CEO, Arnica), Ali Mesdaq (CEO, Amplify Security), Varun Badhwar (CEO, Endor Labs), Aviram Shmueli (CIO, Jit), Pavel Furman (CTO, Kodem), Liav Caspi (CTO, Legit), Eitan Worcel (CEO, Mobb), and Yoav Alon (CTO, Orca Security)
Together, we launched Opengrep, a fork of Semgrep OSS, in response to recent changes by Semgrep that affect its open-source nature and shift focus to its paid offering, limiting access and innovation for the broader community.
Open-source license changes by private vendors are no small matter, often leading to disruption and uncertainty for contributors that help build them. In such cases, the future of the community hangs in doubt as community members must work to continue and protect an open future.
