As of today, The Kodi Foundation, the makers of the free, open-source, and cross-platform media center software known as Kodi (formerly XBMC), is now an Associate Member of The Linux Foundation in attempt to contribute their code to the Open Source software community and help similar projects evolve. By joining The Linux Foundation, The Kodi Foundation strongly believes that their work and the work of other Open Source projects would lead to real innovation, which wouldn’t be possible if the code base was closed source or if it was stifled by the visions of corporates and allocated resources.
