May 7/Web: Navigating the Complexities of the GPL Family of Licenses

With more than half of the 1,000,000+ open source projects available on the Internet using GPL licenses (GPL, LGPL and AGPL), they are the most widely used open source licenses in the world. Many open source savvy companies integrate extremely valuable software made available under these licenses into their development environments and internal operations, as well as their outbound products and services, with confidence.
In the webinar, we will discuss the policies and processes that are in place at these companies to enable the intelligent use of GPL-licensed code and the analysis that these companies use to determine the scope of the source code sharing obligations under these licenses.  We will explore the concept of a what constitutes a separate and independent work to which the sharing obligations would not apply, as well as the most common assumptions regarding distribution or conveyance as a trigger for the sharing obligations under GPL versions 2 or 3 respectively.
To gain insight into these issues and to learn practical approaches for addressing them, please join Black Duck with Karen Copenhaver (Choate, Hall and Stewart) and Mark Radcliffe (DLA Piper), two of the software industry’s most prominent open source IP lawyers and domain experts with the GPL.
