OpenLogic's Certified Library is a collection of certified and indemnified open source packages that are supported by OpenLogic, as well as through the OpenLogic Expert Community. The OpenLogic Certified Library is freely available through the OpenLogic Exchange (OLEX) at olex.openlogic.com.

Certified Library Grows to 400+ Open Source Packages -- The OpenLogic Certified Library now includes more than 400 open source packages and more than 1,800 distributions that represent unique platforms and versions.

Open Source Comparison Matrix -- OpenLogic has expanded their open source knowledgebase by launching an Open Source Comparison Matrix that provides side-by-side comparisons of open source packages within a particular category. Comparisons help developers determine when an open source package is appropriate and choose the software that best meets their needs. OpenLogic solicited data from the open source community to help create the Comparison Matrix, which initially covers three categories: Application Servers, Relational Databases and Web Application Frameworks. The Comparison Matrix is now available at OLEX.
