I'd like to let you know about our next webinar, which will be on Monday, May 23 at 11am EST. We're very pleased to have Heather Meeker, Chair of the IP/IT Licensing and Transactions group at Greenberg Taurig, LLP, as a guest speaker.

The background behind this webinar is that OpenLogic has found that enterprise users of open source software are often confused by the term derivative works. For example, some worry that they may, by mistake, create derivative works and place their own software under an open source license; others may simply not know enough to understand its potential pitfalls. With this in mind, Heather will focus on derivative works in open source software, with a particular focus on "the border dispute" of GPL version 2.

Some of what you'll learn if you tune into this webinar:

• What is a derivative work under the Copyright Act


• What is a derivative work of GPLv2 (and GPLv3) software


• How this applies to linking and other software interactions


• How this applies to header files and apps


• How to do real world risk analysis on derivative works issues

So, if you're interested in learning more about derivative works and how they may affect your organizations open source usage, be sure to join us for this informative webinar.

Our next webinar -- on Wednesday, May 11 -- is rapidly approaching. This will be a joint webinar between OpenLogic and one of our partners, Mulesoft.

The premise?

Apache Tomcat is considered by many to be the world’s best open source servlet container, but anyone who’s handled multiple Tomcat deployments in the enterprise knows that it can be challenging manage to tasks like application deployment and rollback, server group configurations, and monitoring.  Tcat, Mulesoft’s Enterprise Tomcat Server, streamlines and simplifies Tomcat management, but when does it make sense for enterprises to upgrade from Tomcat to Tcat?

On Wednesday, May 11 OpenLogic and Mulesoft will discuss common enterprise challenges associated with widespread Tomcat deployments and demonstrate how Tcat server eliminates errors and downtime while improving security and performance.  Presented by Vince Cox, OpenLogic’s Senior Engineer, and Jason Brittain, Mulesoft’s Architect, Tcat Server and author of Tomcat: The Definitive Guide, this webinar will cover:

• Challenges associated with large-scale enterprise Tomcat deployments


• When does it make sense to upgrade to Tcat?


• Introduction to and demonstration of Tcat Server

If you’re managing Tomcat deployments in the enterprise and considering upgrading to Tcat, this webinar is one you won’t want to miss. So, please join us on Wednesday, May 11 at 2pm EST/ 12pm MST/ 11am PST for this exciting webinar. You can register here.
