While being extremely easy to
obtain, Open Source Software comes with its own set of IP issues. Buyers and
vendors need to be aware of the different types of open source licenses and how
different open source communities deal with IP issues. This session will first
discuss the different styles of open source licenses and their implications on
use within an enterprise or a vendor. It will also discuss the best practices
used by the Eclipse Foundation, a leading open source community, to ensure the
Eclipse open source projects address many of the IP issues. Attendees of this
session will gain a better appreciation for how to deal with the risk and
benefits of open source IP.
