Understanding the Most Common OSS Licenses

You've heard of the licenses, but do you know which ones are considered "permissive" and which ones are "copyleft" and why? Do you understand these licenses when it comes to using them and complying with them?

This webinar takes a few of the more common OSS licenses and examine such issues as:

What do these licenses actually say and how are they interpreted by the community?

What does it mean to comply?

Where are the sticking points that may be overlooked or are open for interpretation?

Is there reliable external information or references to help interpret the licenses and how do I find it?

In this webinar Jilayne Lovejoy, OpenLogic's inside counsel, walks you through a few of the most common open source licenses including the Apache Software License 2.0 and the General Public License v2. This webinar is geared toward attorneys, developers and business people who have a basic knowledge of OSS licenses and compliance and are looking to educate themselves on the specifics of OSS licenses. Whether you're interested in a deeper understanding for compliance reasons or need to determine what license you may want to use for your own code, this webinar will provide answers to your open source licensing questions.
