A practical guide to leveraging open source in business
The law of open source is complex and constantly changing. Some
legal issues related to it are thorny and undecided. Those called
upon to make decisions about open source have found little
information to guide them in traditional legal materials . . .
until now. Author Heather Meeker--voted one of the top thirty
intellectual property lawyers in California--brings her ten years
of extensive involvement in open source legal issues to bear in The
Open Source Alternative--a practical resource to help you implement
open source intelligently, without compromising the value of your
intellectual property or stepping into a potential lawsuit.
Written in plain English for both lawyers and professionals, The
Open Source Alternative provides an accessible discussion of the
different licensing strategies to consider with open source. This
invaluable reference tool for CIOs, CFOs, IT managers, auditors,
and attorneys, as well as all interested professionals, provides
you with the background and tools you need to understand this area
of law and develop your own conclusions and best practices. Divided
into two parts--leveraging opportunities and understanding
risks--the book explores: the rules of the road for use of open
source in proprietary products, assessing legal risk of using open
source, how to understand and leverage patents and trademarks in
the open source landscape, and developing policies for use of open
source in your business.
Formulating best practices in open source development requires
familiarity with a complex set of facts and industry practices, as
well as the political, business, and legal principles behind
them.The Open Source Alternative is a must-read for any
professional who needs to stay on top of this rapidly changing
field.
