The Sakai community is at its core a collaboration of higher education institutions, but it also includes commercial affiliates and encourages their contribution. The central mechanism that facilitates this broad collaboration is a liberal, commercial-friendly open source license.
The Sakai community represents a coordination not only of individual software developers, but also a full variety of actors - from pedagogists to administrators - interested in the role of this software in furthering the academic mission. The community therefore functions in a way that differs from traditional open source projects. We call it community source.
