With over 60% of the more than 500,000 open source projects available on the Internet using GPL licenses, they are the most widely used open source licenses in the world. The way that software development organizations integrate code licensed under the GPL, LGPL and AGPL into their applications and services, and depending on how that code is deployed, can have legal implications that need to be understood and properly managed to reduce risk and exposure. Despite widespread adoption of GPL-based code, developers and end-users continue to wrestle with a number of issues regarding GPL license use and obligations including:
- What constitutes a derivative work?
- What constitutes a separate and independent work?
- What constitutes distribution?
To gain insight into these issues and to learn practical approaches for addressing them, please join Black Duck Software with Karen Copenhaver (Choate, Hall and Stewart) and Mark Radcliffe (DLA Piper), two of the software industry’s most prominent IP lawyers and domain experts with the GPL.
