Open Source Exposure via Your Software Supply Chain: On-Demand MCLE

This recording illustrates with examples common areas of exposure in software supply chains and recommend mitigation and management strategies.

Development organizations increasingly rely on multiple external sources of software to increase the velocity of application development. Outsourcers and external suppliers are no different, using open source that is then passed on to their customers.
The recent Microsoft Windows 7 tool example highlights the problem: a contract developer used GPL licensed code that unknowingly was distributed with a Microsoft product. Microsoft did the right thing by admitting they were in violation of the terms of the agreement, pulled the tool from their online Store, and promised to make the source and binary files available.
Open source in software supply chains has caused similar problems for other companies.

Sep 23/Cleveland, OH - Bullies in a Wired World: Cyberspace Victimization’s Impact on Adolescent Mental Health and the Need for #Cyberbullying Legislation in Ohio

Cyberbullying's negative impact on adolescent mental health and increasing cases of cyberbullying-induced teen suicide compelled thirty-four states to pass specific cyberbullying legislation.  Ohio has also been affected by the disturbing trend.  In the past five years, four teens from Mentor High School took their own lives after relentless bullying.  The current cyberbullying bill pending in Ohio, the "Jessica Logan Act," is named after a Cincinnati teen who committed suicide after months of online bullying. 
A broad range of speakers will demonstrate the legal and clinical implications of cyberbullying:

Tim Boehnlein, Training and Education Director of the Domestic Violence and Child Advocacy Center of Cleveland.  Mr. Boehnlein will address cyberbullying-induced suicide, depression, and adolescent cyberbullying victims’ emotional development.  He will also address the legal steps the Center takes when helping adolescent cyberbullying and domestic violence victims.  Mr. Boehnlein will be accompanied by Johanna Orozco, a Cleveland woman who was stalked and cyberbullied by her high school boyfriend until his aggression turned violent.

Sep 23/Cleveland, OH - The University and National Security after 9/11

After the September 11 attacks people often said "everything has changed." Ten years later, it is time to consider what has changed and what it means. This symposium will consider the impact of post-9/11 national security concerns on universities, professors, and students.

First, what role have academics played in national security matters, historically and currently, and what are the implications? Speakers will consider the ethical issues raised by the military's use of anthropologists and geographers in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the impact of legal professors’ participation in national security matters, as advocates for detainees or as government lawyers. Second, what implications has 9/11 had on the day-to-day operation of universities? Issues range from threats to academic freedom to questions about resource allocation. Finally, in what ways have our national security concerns and sense of insecurity influenced academic discourse?

Sep 16/Web - Understanding the #AGPL (GNU Affero Public License)

The GNU Affero Public License version 3 (“AGPL”) 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 almost 400 open source projects.  And with the increase in popularity, questions about its use and obligations have grown as well. To gain a better understanding of the AGPL, its genesis, usage and common questions, 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.
