OpenSourceThinkTank2006_FinalReport
The document summarizes a think tank event discussing the future of commercial open source software. Key findings from breakout groups included that by 2010, software companies will rely more on services than licenses for revenue. Legal issues around open source licensing will be resolved or unimportant. Open source will be integrated into most computing environments and achieve ubiquity like Linux.
Free and Open Source Software Litigation in 2016
This document summarizes a presentation on enforcement of open source licenses. It discusses new players in open source enforcement that are focused on revenue generation through litigation, rather than compliance. These include Patrick McHardy, who has pursued numerous GPL enforcement actions in Germany seeking damages. The document also discusses ongoing GPL litigation between Christoph Hellwig and VMware, and efforts by the Linux Foundation and others to promote compliance. It provides guidance to software distributors on developing open source use policies and compliance practices to reduce litigation risks.
Unpacking the Royalty Stack
Just how much device makers are on the hook for in patent licensing payouts is one of the most debated questions in the IP community. While a complete answer may remain elusive, an analytical approach can help manufacturers assess their risk.
Open Source Governance in Highly Regulated Companies
The document discusses the importance and risks of open source governance for highly regulated companies. It outlines that open source now represents an average of 29% of code deployed by IT and is used by 60-80% of technology innovators. However, uncontrolled use of open source can expose companies to technical, regulatory, security, legal and brand risks. The document advocates for formal open source governance processes to maximize the benefits of open source while minimizing risks.

SFSCON23 - Simon Phipps - Regulation, AI and the State of Software Freedom in...South Tyrol Free Software Conference
For many years, we have relied on a big, ALL CAPS waiver of liability in licenses and the ability of the recipient to examine and run the code to ensure software freedom for all. But the cloud, AI and now a wave of European regulation have eroded that dream. Where have we got to, and is software freedom still a viable objective?Top Five Global Patent Concerns For 2015
The document discusses changes to the US patent litigation landscape as a result of the America Invents Act and how Google has adapted. It notes that the Act has led to a shift in common venues away from Texas to Delaware and fewer co-defendants being joined per case. Google is taking advantage of new patent office review proceedings allowed by the Act, closely tracking resulting decisions, and using proceedings to stay district court litigation. This has led Google to more exhaustively search for prior art and carefully time review filings to avoid statutory bars. Litigation and patent counsel are also more closely tied due to proceedings resembling litigation. At Google's scale, cases can be optimized by identifying duplicative areas and developing models, freeing up time for complex
Open Source Insight: OWASP Top 10, Red Hat OpenShift News, & Gmail Phishing Scam
Open Source Insight: OWASP Top 10, Red Hat OpenShift News, & Gmail Phishing ScamBlack Duck by Synopsys
On Wednesday, a worm started spreading around Gmail that suggested to users a friend or colleague was trying to share a Google Doc. Google has already disabled the offending accounts (only 0.1 percent were affected), and that it was able to stop the worm within an hour. We should take this as a wake-up that we're all potentially vulnerable to attack.
This week’s open source and open source security news includes stories on the eternal “open source good / bad” debate; 5 reasons why enterprises should be using open source; news from Red Hat Summit; and what CISOs need to known about cybersecurity.

Commercial software developers are often drawn to open source code to help deliver a low cost and flexible product that can quickly be brought to market. While there are benefits, there are also risks and pitfalls. With the growth and influence of free software licensing, some have been asserting the General Public License (GPL) violations in litigation to attempt to gain an advantage. Please join us as we explore these issues and discuss strategies to protect your product from litigation and to evaluate whether your new product will be strengthened or weakened by the integration of open source software, and in particular the GPL.
Gain insight into:
- Reach of the influential free software license GPL;
- Emerging risk of copyright trolls in open source;
- Risk of Free Software Foundation sponsored litigation in response to GPL violations;
- Contours of what constitutes a derivative work employing Linux code in the context of the GPL; and
- Lessons learned from the Hellwig vs. VMware case.
2014 Tech M&A Monthly - Deal Structures Today
With healthy capital markets, booming public markets and a resurgent IPO environment, deal structures are beginning to move away from the cash-only rules of the last few years. Buyers are using more stock and earn-out, while leveraging cheap debt to sometimes make acquisitions beyond their reach just a couple years ago. When should you consider stock? What’s the role of earn-outs? How should you approach non-competes? Find out during the September edition of Tech M&A Monthly.
An Analysis Of Open Source Business Models
An open source business model summary:
1) Open source software is developed by a community of volunteers who freely share the source code. This allows many developers to improve the product at low cost.
2) Companies can build businesses around open source software in several ways - by distributing the software, providing support services, or developing proprietary products that incorporate open source code.
3) The main business models are distributors (who sell support for open source software), software producers (who develop proprietary products using open source components), and third party service providers (who offer paid support for open source projects). These models generate revenue from support contracts, software/service sales, and consulting.

Under a corporate point of view, free and open source software can offer material improvements such as costs reduction, flexibility and customization of services and thus let the company be able to adapt to new market trends and strengthen its business continuity.
On the other hand, however, open source software may have some disadvantages, e.g. lack of technical assistance, uncertainty about the legal liability framework and vulnerability to cyber-attacks.
Since the community is free to modify OSS, its developments are also unpredictable and such a changing and unforeseeable scenario may imply some hurdles to smoothly perform a forward-looking risk assessment within the governance and management of corporate tools.
The complexity of the cybersecurity risk-assessment for open source software may threaten managers’ and supervisors’ liability since they are responsible for the implementation of adequate governance tools and cybersecurity models.Oss 2009- How Open Source Software Can Save the ICT Industry
The document discusses how open source software can save the ICT industry $1 trillion per year by reducing failed proprietary software implementations, which account for 18-30% of total ICT investments. It estimates that developing Linux and common open source packages privately would have cost over $1 billion, but they were developed through open source collaboration at a fraction of the cost. Open source also enables more innovation by allowing any user to be a developer. Studies show user-driven innovation accounts for 85% of "quantum" innovation, yet proprietary models limit this to 1/6th of the potential. With millions of volunteer developers, open source projects like Linux have exceeded the productive capacity of companies like Microsoft.

Open Source Insight is your weekly news resource for open source security and cybersecurity news!Copyright or Copy left by manoranjan, glc, tvpm
The document discusses copyright and open source software. It notes that copyrighted or proprietary software restricts modifications and distribution of source code, while open source software allows users freedoms to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve through licenses like copyleft. Copyleft uses copyright to guarantee these freedoms by requiring distributions of derived works be licensed under the same terms. The document discusses advantages of open source like lower costs, accessibility of source code, and ongoing improvements, but also notes potential disadvantages like lack of support and incongruent license terms. It examines legal cases around open source licenses and concludes the future favors open source as more organizations adopt it.

Presentation on future legal issues in blockchain from a presentation at the full day program: Future of Blockchain and Digital Assets: The View of Silicon Valley in November 3, 2021 for Practicing Law Institute (the largest provider of legal training in the US). It covers regulatory issues, liability of software developers for code errors and regulatory compliance and "Code is Law".
Blockchain: Future Legal Issues
My presentation on future legal issues in blockchain from Practicing Law Institute program on The Future of Blockchain and Digital Assets: The View of Silicon Valley. The presentation covers new theories of liability for blockchain (and open source) software developers for the performance of the software and compliance with regulatory obligations. These theories are new and pose significant dangers to the future of the open source software ecosystem.
Emerging Theories for Software Developer Liability in FOSS and Blockchain
