Open Source @ Palantir
At Palantir Technologies, we're big fans of open source. Libraries
from Apache, Google, npm, and various
projects hosted on SourceForge.net
make up a significant fraction of the third-party code we use to build our products.
We think it's the right thing to do, to add our voice to the chorus
of developers making software available to freely use, modify, and
distribute. The projects here are the reusable pieces of our infrastructure that we've had the time to clean-up, document, and release to the world. As time and other interests allow, we'll be making other projects available to the dev community.
Our goal is to make these projects as easy to use and include in your own work as possible. For our Java projects, we've chosen the Apache License, Version 2.0 to make our contributions as free from encumberance as possible - our hope is that many people will find them useful and build on top of them just as we have with our own software. In the Javascript world, we use the MIT License to match the prevailing style of open source licensing in that community.
Need something released under a different license? File an issue on the project and we can likely accomodate the request.
We'd love to hear from you on how we're doing. Aside from the normal outlets to communicate about the projects themselves (see the mailing lists and issue trackers for each project), please feel free to email opensource@palantir.com, as the curator of these projects.
About Palantir
In 2004, when we looked at the available technology, we saw products that were too rigid to handle novel problems, and custom systems that took too long to deploy and required too many services to maintain and improve. We saw automated approaches that failed against adaptive adversaries, and all-or-nothing access controls that forced organizations to make unacceptable trade-offs between collaborating and securing sensitive data from misuse. We saw a need for a different kind of technology, and we knew it would take a different kind of company to build it. That’s why we founded Palantir.
