The Open Group's Core Program has nothing to do with POSIX, sorry for misleading.
For POSIX certification, one must: 1. Review the Guide to the program (https://posix.opengroup.org/certification_guide.html). 2. Complete the requirements: -Understanding the certification program and process -Testing the product informally -Applying for certification -Formal testing and submission of results It looks like re-testing can be requested at their discretion. 3. Paying However, I think that OpenBSD would fall under the free testing/certification clause, as described here: Under the Open Group's POSIX FAQs (https://posix.opengroup.org/posixfaq.html): What test suites do I need and where can they be obtained from?<https://posix.opengroup.org/posixfaq.html#collapse-6> "If you are an open source project, a 12 month license is available at no fee." 4. It is my understanding that many of the projects that are adjacent to OpenBSD already have POSIX compliance layers. It is not clear to me what the "value add" for POSIX certification is in 2024, for any country or project. Perhaps this is a question to send along to the Open Group.

The OpenGroup is _completely_ unrelated to OpenBSD. If you want information about their stuff you need to ask them. Philip Guenther
