Open-Source Software: Getting the Legal ‘OK’

🖨️
originally was published at Managing IP

Glad to announce my yet another publication. Now it is about how to supervise (from the legal point of view) the process of computer programs code releases into public access as a source code, what tips and tricks are useful for legal counsels, and how they can mitigate possible legal risks.

From the article, you can find out:

  • what are the four key points of program code legal audit before its releasing
  • reasons why it is a good idea to prepare a questionnaire for the developers and ask them to provide the answers at the start point og the legal audit
  • what should you remember about trade secrets and confidential information
  • where you can find short summaries of well-known licenses for open source

If you have any questions or comments related to this publication, just write me via LinkedIn or here.
