OWASP Membership Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why Should I Become An OWASP Member?
OWASP provides documentation, tools, methodologies, standards, articles, and message forums (“OWASP Materials”) as a service to Internet users worldwide to help users and developers understand more about application security. OWASP makes these materials available to end users to help them acquire, build, test, and operate secure software. In addition to the benefits you receive as described above, your membership helps to support the growth of OWASP and the development of new and improved OWASP Materials. Because we are an open, non-commercial entity, we can take on projects that commercial entities driven by profit motives could not. Everyone benefits from these projects. Your support will help OWASP continue to find and fight the causes of insecure software.
How Are Funds Used?
OWASP is a 501c3 not-for-profit foundation, and all funds go directly to support OWASP projects, chapters, and infrastructure. Our funds come from conferences, memberships, advertising, and individual contributions.
Who Must Become an OWASP Member?
Memberships are not required to use OWASP materials under each project's open source license. Also, anyone can participate in or contribute to an OWASP project without becoming a member. Membership provides a commercial license to all OWASP Materials for your entire organization. This license will ensure that you can modify, use, and bundle OWASP Materials in applications and documents under a single commercial license. Your membership fees are what make the various OWASP projects possible.
How Can I Become An OWASP Member?
To become an OWASP Member, an individual or organization must:
Agree to the terms and conditions of the OWASP Membership Agreement.
Pay the appropriate membership fee, depending on what type of OWASP Membership is indicated. (See top of page for both)
Keep OWASP updated with accurate contact and business profile information.
Enrollment as an OWASP Member is required before a commercial license to use the materials is established. The term of the agreement is one year from the date of execution. We appreciate your interest in becoming an OWASP Member. Click the "Register Now" logo to begin the OWASP Member registration process:
What is OWASP’s licensing model?
- Open Source Licenses: Each OWASP project is licensed under one of the approved open source licenses, such as the GPL, LGPL, GFDL, and BSD. Under these licenses, you may be required to contribute changes back to the open source community at large, according to the terms of the applicable open source license.
