Understanding Derivative Works in Open Source Software: The "Border Dispute" of GPL version 2
Enterprise users of open source software are often confused by the term derivative works. 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 about the subject to understand its potential pitfalls. While the subject of derivative works is a complex one, it need not be overwhelming.
In this webinar Heather Meeker, Chair of the IP/IT Licensing and Transactions group at Greenberg Traurig, LLP, helps demystify the subject of derivative works. Topics covered in this webinar include:
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
