I have studied Rosens book in detail and am impressed with its scope and content. I strongly recommend it to anybody interested in the current controversies surrounding open source licensing. John Terpstra, Samba.org; cofounder, Samba-TeamLinux and open source software have forever altered the computing landscape. The important conversations no longer revolve around the technology but rather the business and legal issues. Rosens book is must reading for anyone using or providing open source solutions. Stuart Open Source Development LabsA Complete Guide to the Law of Open Source for Developers, Managers, and LawyersNow that open source software is blossoming around the world, it is crucial to understand how open source licenses workand their solid legal foundations. Open Source Initiative general counsel Lawrence Rosen presents a plain-English guide to open source law for developers, managers, users, and lawyers. Rosen clearly explains the intellectual property laws that support open source licensing, carefully reviews todays leading licenses, and helps you make the best choices for your project or organization. Coverage includes:





Explanation of why the SCO litigation and other attacks wont derail open source Dispelling the myths of open source licensing Intellectual property law for nonlawyers: ownership and licensing of copyrights, patents, and trademarks Academic licenses: BSD, MIT, Apache, and beyond The reciprocal bargain at the heart of the GPL Alternative licenses: Mozilla, CPL, OSL and AFL Benefits of open source, and the obligations and risks facing businesses that deploy open source software Choosing the right license: considering business models, product architecture, IP ownership, license compatibility issues, relicensing, and more Enforcing the terms and conditions of open source licenses Shared source, eventual source, and other alternative models to open source Protecting yourself against lawsuits

Papildus informācija

"Open Source" implies a unique way of developing and licensing software.Raymond's Cathedral and the Bazaar explained the unique character of theOpen Source development model. Rosen's Open Source Licensing explainsthe unique character of the Open Source licensing model.SCO, with financial support from Microsoft, is engaged in a much-publicizedassault on Linux, and more generally, on the licensing model upon which allOpen Source software rests. In a recent filing in its case against IBM, SCOwrote: "The GPL violates the U.S. Constitution, together with copyright,antitrust and export control laws."And the implications are clear: at risk are not only the developers working onthe 68,000 Open Source projects active on SourceForge today, but also themillions of companies, schools, and organizations that deploy Open Sourcesoftware.All of this has generated a great deal of interest in the nature of Open Sourcelicenses, and the intellectual property law that underlies them.° What, exactly, are the legal underpinnings of Open Source?° Of the 40+ Open Source licenses, which are the most important, and why?° How does a developer choose which to use?° What are the risks--and obligations--to a business that deploys OpenSource.° What can you a business do in the event of a lawsuit?Cover quotes from Lessig, John Terpstra of Samba.org, and Stuart Cohen--theCEO of OSDL.
