Partners
Open Source Distribution
GridLAB-D™ will be released as an open-source system to a limited group of charter developers in March 2008. This release will be the basis for partners to develop modules they propose. A more public release is planned for December 2008, making GridLAB-D™ widely available to the public under open-source licensing. Industry partners and collaborators will be invited to examine and test the system, and submit new modules to the open-source library. When modules are vetted and approved by the partners, they will be added to the standard release. Unvetted modules will be available as add-ons from the open-source repository, but will not be installed as a part of the standard download available from the repository.
Developers will be permitted to create proprietary modules; however, they will be required to distribute required GridLAB-D™ components free of charge, and provide prominent acknowledgement of the authors and funding used to create those modules. Any changes made to the open-source modules comprising the GridLAB-D™ system must be resubmitted to the open-source library for distribution.
Please send us an email if you would like more information or are interested in becoming a partner.
