ADempiere is a open-source project using commons-based peer-production methods. Organized as a bazaar of Citizens, the project is governed by Technical, Functional and Community Council Teams. The intellectual property of the community is protected by the ADempiere Foundation, a non-profit group which provides legal and financial support to the community.
