This document provides a checklist of issues to consider for a software licensing agreement. It addresses the purpose of the license, terms of the license grant, project definition, testing and acceptance procedures, payment terms, warranties, and limitations of liability. The goal is to clearly define the rights and obligations of both the licensor and licensee.
This session will arm you with all the key information you need to to figure out Open Source software licensing issues, understand legal situation, etc. The aim is to present your obligations in terms of OSS licences, patent and intellectual property, before launching a project.
Next, a method developed within QualiPSo project will be presented!
Forking and coordination in multi-platform developmentAnh Nguyen Duc
?
With the proliferation of desktop and mobile platforms the development and maintenance of identical or similar ap- plications on multiple platforms is urgently needed. We study a software product deployed to more than 25 soft- ware/hardware combinations over 10 years to understand multi-platform development practices. We hope that this work will provide a basis for quantitative understanding of issues faced in multi-platform software development.
The document outlines the top 10 intellectual property mistakes made by emerging companies, including failing to properly assign intellectual property rights to contractors, not filing patent applications within statutory deadlines, and underestimating the importance of freedom to operate analyses and trademark registrations to protect the value of a company's innovations and brand. It emphasizes the need for startups to develop an intellectual property strategy and budget that focuses on commercially valuable intellectual property and properly establishes ownership of employee and contractor work.
The document discusses attacks on intellectual property, specifically hardware IP cores used in integrated circuit design. It describes the design flow for ICs, including different stages from specification to fabrication. It also discusses types of IP cores like soft/firm/hard and system-on-chip design methodologies. The document outlines security issues with IPs like piracy, cloning, and reverse engineering. It proposes using an active security tag containing identification and transmission components to help prove illegal IP core use, but notes no universal solution exists due to the changeable nature of chips.

The document discusses open source software use in defense contracting. It notes that open source software use provides benefits like flexibility, innovation, and cost savings but also poses challenges to manage like technical failures, security risks, and intellectual property risks. Data shows around 20% of code bases contain open source software, but over 95% have undisclosed open source and over 50% contain unknown or problematic licenses. The DoD must use open source to get benefits like faster and better software, but also needs contractors that can adequately manage the associated legal, security and quality risks of open source use.
The document discusses how software platforms can help companies identify, capture, and retain customers. A software platform provides common elements and an application programming interface that external developers can use to build applications. This allows developers to focus on unique features while leveraging the platform's core functions. The platform approach also makes applications sticky since replacing the platform would require rewriting code. The document provides the example of a video compression software platform that delivers new standards and capabilities via software downloads, helping companies in a changing video world. In summary, software platforms can be a tool for companies to identify, capture, and retain customers.
Open Source is a very powerful weapon using which products can be built from the scratch.

This case study examines the San Francisco Performing Arts Library & Museum's (SFPALM) decision to migrate from Windows to open source software. SFPALM needed to license its unlicensed Windows server, outsource some services, and save money. It decided to use Red Hat Linux for its operating system, Samba for file/print sharing, Astaro Security Linux for firewall/VPN, qMail for email, Apache for web hosting, and maintain its legacy database on a Linux server. This saved $2,800 compared to purchasing Windows licenses and keeping outsourced services. The presentation discusses open source strengths like lower costs, security, and stability, as well as challenges like difficulty of deployment and lack
The document summarizes a debate on open source versus proprietary software. It discusses definitions of open source software, popular open source licenses, and advantages of open source such as customizability, security, and lower costs. Open source is gaining adoption in government and enterprise due to benefits like avoiding vendor lock-in, lower costs, and higher quality from community contributions. Surveys find increasing enterprise adoption rates, with over 50% of new software to be open source in the next 5 years. Microsoft is also increasingly supporting open source.
This document discusses various open source business models used by vendors, including dual licensing, open core, product specialist, platform providers, software selection, aggregate support providers, legal certification and insurance, training and documentation, and indirect revenues. For each model, it outlines the economic advantages for both the vendor and adopter, potential disadvantages, sales conditions, and freeriding protection. The models range from single or few products to many, and external ecosystem participation varies across models.

The document discusses the economics of open source clouds compared to public clouds. It notes that while experts say public clouds are better economically, only 1% of the world's storage is in public clouds currently. Open source allows for standardized IT capabilities like public clouds but provides more flexibility in customizing resources. By enabling cooperation between companies, open source can develop cloud software at large scale and speed to match major vendors and provide alternatives to proprietary public clouds.

The document discusses disaster recovery strategies using OpenNebula. It defines disaster recovery and recovery objectives. It then outlines an approach using OpenNebula, LizardFS snapshots for replication between sites, with the goal of quick recovery times and decoupled redundant systems. Key aspects are regular replication of VM disk chunks to multiple sites and a "pilot light" system for testing disaster recovery functionality.
The document discusses the economics of cloud computing and open source software. It argues that true economic benefits are realized when applications are redesigned from the ground up to take advantage of cloud capabilities like elasticity. This often involves using open source tools and databases. When new applications incorporate these cloud-native designs, it can significantly reduce development costs compared to traditional software. It estimates that widespread adoption of this approach could save hundreds of billions of dollars per year globally. For organizations, embracing open source and experimenting with new cloud-designed applications offers opportunities to develop innovative solutions more efficiently.
The document discusses the concept of collaborative economics. It provides examples of how open source software projects have benefited from external contributors providing more total value than the initial internal contributions. Studies have also found that the quality of information on Wikipedia is generally as good as or better than traditional encyclopedias for many topics. The document suggests that the collaborative model could work in other "soft sectors" beyond just software, but does not provide concrete examples of where or why it should work in other domains. It also discusses the concept of experience curves where the unit costs of production decrease as total cumulative production increases.

The document discusses the economic value of open source software for Europe. It estimates that 35% of implemented software functionalities are based on reused open source code, providing a cost savings of 31% or 75 billion euros per year for European businesses. Additionally, reduced failure rates from using open source could save another 4.9 billion euros per year. In total, the estimated annual economic value from cost savings due to the use of open source software in Europe is 114 billion euros.
This document discusses the economic value of free/libre open source software (FLOSS) in Europe. It begins by outlining criticisms that have been leveled against FLOSS, claiming it does not generate profit. However, it then presents data showing FLOSS reuse provides significant economic benefits through reduced costs, increased innovation, lower failure rates, and greater efficiency. Overall, the document estimates the total annual value of FLOSS reuse in Europe is 114 billion euros through these factors. It also discusses positive secondary effects of reinvesting these savings.

This document provides best practices for organizations adopting open source software based on experiences in Europe. It emphasizes that technical aspects are less important than management and social considerations. Key recommendations include securing management commitment, creating a realistic timeline and clear expectations, evaluating software thoroughly, providing training and support for users, and promoting the adoption as an opportunity for new skills. An incremental approach is preferable to a "big switch." Identifying local experts and champions can help address potential resistance to change.
The document discusses open source software (OSS), providing definitions and addressing myths. It covers the history of code sharing, different licensing models for OSS, and intellectual property considerations. Business models for OSS are also examined, noting they can include services, custom development, and subscriptions. Medical information technology examples of OSS adoption and best practices for introducing OSS are presented over multiple pages.
This document discusses open source software adoption models for small and medium enterprises. It provides an overview of topics to cover, including basic facts on open source software, adoption models, overcoming barriers, delivery tools, application examples, long term sustainability models, and common errors in open source software-based companies. It emphasizes that open source software adoption is a multi-phase process and recommends focusing on helping every stage of adoption.
Collaborative development models have been successfully applied to open source software projects. However, traditionally these models were thought to be unable to produce secure, high-quality software. Some experiments applying these models to non-software projects like Wikipedia have shown results comparable to closed development. The collaborative structure of many projects, regardless of type, is similar to software with modular components and public versioning. For collaborative models to work outside software, unifying platforms are important, and constraints like in physical objects limit participation.

AI and developer obsolescence - BCS 2025.pdfSeb Rose
?
Everything looks solvable if you ignore most of the complications. Many things look impossible when you¡¯re overwhelmed by the details.
Abstraction has been fundamental in helping humanity harness computing technology to deliver world changing solutions. But, over the years, there have been many failed attempts to raise the level of abstraction and empower the wider population to create software without the need for specialist developers. And the need for skilled software developers has risen inexorably.
Does the current interest in AI and low/no code development simply herald the cyclical return of our economy's yearning for ever higher levels of abstraction and reduced reliance on software developers? Or has the technological landscape changed sufficiently to make developer obsolescence a more likely outcome?
