After Siemens Re-Licenses OpenRadioss, Rocky Linux Announces Open-Source Fork

Siemens shut down the OpenRadioss project after acquiring Altair, removing its GitHub repository and related resources. The Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation has launched a community fork called OpenCourant based on the last public OpenRadioss snapshot under AGPLv3.

• Siemens cited consolidation of efforts around the Radioss solver as the reason
• OpenCourant keeps the GNU AGPLv3 license and will be run by RESF
• Part of OpenRadioss consisted of binary dependencies whose latest versions were lost
