Speaker/Presentation
Title: Copyright Licensing of Free and Open Source Software
Speaker: Vance Kochenderfer
My previous Introduction to Copyright talk covered the basics of copyright law and how it applies to software.
This is a follow-on presentation discussing the most common licenses used for Free and Open Source software, covering items like:
- How they operate within copyright law
- How to apply one to your work
- Why you would want to choose a particular license
- What happens when disputes come up
If you have any questions about licensing, please bring them and I'll try to help. I can't guarantee that you'll get a correct answer, though. :-)
