What is the future of open source licensing?

12 Mar Posted by aross in BSD, Legal, Video, EPL, GPL, Licenses

I had the great privilege of attending a talk by professor Michael Madison. Michael Madison is Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Research, University of Pittsburgh School of Law, on Open Source Licenses and the Boundaries of Knowledge Production.

Abstract:
What is the future of open source licensing? The presentation will use Jacbosen v. Katzer, a recent opinion from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit that analyzes an open source software license, to frame a discussion of open source issues that are conceptual, historical, and practical.

We are grateful to the sponsors, the University of Ottawa, and Dr. Madison for allowing us to record this great talk. He is an excellent speaker and the talk was thought provoking. I believe you will enjoy it as well.
