June 25/Web: Understanding the LGPL and AGPL

The GPL family of licenses is the most popular and widely used type of license in the open source community. This webinar will explore the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) and GNU Affero Public license (AGPL) in depth.
In 1999, the Free Software Foundation published the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 (LGPL) stating that it “applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.” When the LGPL version 3 was created in 2007, it allowed additional permission for GPL v3 licensed code.
The AGPL version 3 is one of the newest members of the GPL family of licenses. The Free Software Foundation describes the AGPL as “a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.” It extends the GPLv3 license by giving end-users access to the source code for software accessed over a network.
The AGPL has grown in popularity since it was introduced in 2007, used by over 1,000 open source projects today. And with the increase in popularity, questions about its use and obligations have grown as well.
Continuing the discussion from our last legal webinar covering the complexities of the GPL, this webinar will take an in-depth look at the following licenses in the GPL family:

• LGPL2.1 
• LGPLv3
• AGPLv3
