The Covenant, A New Approach to Open Source Cooperation. Lexis Nexis has Open Sourced HPCC, the parallel software that they use for handling extremely large data. Databases that, for example, hold records for every consumer in the U.S. can be processed with this software and its task-specific language. But one of the
most interesting things about this software is the Covenant, a new means of sharing with the
Open Source community designed by Bruce Perens. Perens was strategic
consultant for Lexis Nexis as they decided to participate in Open Source, and
continues in that role.
