Mandatory Considerations before using Open Source Code
October 27, 2015 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Presentation Summary: There is rarely a topic in business that can divide a crowd with as much passion and fury as a political debate. However, Open Source Code has that ability. Whether you’re a software developer, a business owner or an acquirer of businesses, you need to understand Open Source Code. It’s too advantageous to ignore and too dangerous to underestimate.
This presentation will cover:
- i) A general history and overview of Open Source Code,
- ii) Its legal mechanics and potential legal pitfalls, and
iii) Prudent courses of action for:
- Software Developers who are looking to avoid malpractice;
- Business Owners who are looking to avoid unforeseen litigation; and
- Business Acquirers who are looking to save money on the purchase price of acquisitions.
