Open Source RDK

RDK is an open source code project distributed through industry standard open source licenses e.g. Apache 2.0. The RDK source code can be accessed from the RDK Code Management Facility at RDK Central Gerrit. Read only access is also available at the RDK GitHub mirror. RDK documentation is open and available to all at the RDK Central Wiki. RDK Wiki also hosts open-to-all community forums to discuss anything RDK. 

RDK License

While most of the RDK components are available as described above, a handful of components are distributed under the free RDK License Agreement.

To obtain the RDK License Agreement, please complete the application at https://rdkcentral.com/licenses/. Upon full execution of the agreement, you will be provided access to the RDK source code components. Please contact RDK Management at info@rdkcentral.com in case you need more information.

Preferred Program

The Preferred Program was developed in response to requests from community members for enhanced support & collaboration. Membership provides access to advanced tools, expert technical guidance, training, advanced documentation, avenues for collaboration and invites to the RDK member conferences. Preferred members collaborate closely within the RDK eco-system on evolving RDK technology.

The Preffered Program is modeled on leading open source project membership programs. To join, please submit the completed membership agreement. Please check https://rdkcentral.com/join/memberships/ for additional information. You may also email membership@rdkcentral.com to join or get more detailed information.

Preferred Plus Program

The Preferred Plus Program is an exciting new way for RDK Preferred members to get additional exposure for their participation in RDK. It acts as an advertising platform to drive awareness of their products, services, skills and knowledge using RDK Management Media.
