Acquired by Vista Equity Partners
Published 16 September 2026
WHAT HAPPENED
Sonatype and Brian Fox announced support for the OpenSSF Governing Board's commitment to sustainable funding models for public package registries, the infrastructure that developers rely on for software components.
WHO IS INVOLVED
Sonatype, the OpenSSF, and Brian Fox are backing efforts to establish funding mechanisms for public registries like Maven Central, which serves as load-bearing infrastructure for modern software development.
WHY IT MATTERS
Public package registries face growing operational, security, and reliability demands as software development accelerates and AI increases package consumption. Sustainable funding ensures these critical registries remain secure, reliable, and available long-term without moving open source behind paywalls.
