Everyone who wants to participate will take a license from the hat and defend why it's the "best" for 5 minutes or so. The event will be a series of rapid-fire discussions like you might see on ESPN.

At the very least, four members of our Board of Directors - Chair Pat, Vice Chair/Secretary Justin, Treasurer Terry, and Director-at-Large Joe - will participate. If other people want to try, we'll add more licenses to the hat as necessary to accommodate them. If you get a license you don't know about, we'll give you basic information about it and a few minutes to think over what to say.

If you'd like to learn more about software licenses, Justin put together a handout that gives a plain English, one-page summary for each of the six in our debate panel (MIT, Apache, Mozilla Public, Microsoft Reciprocal, LGPL, GPL). It also includes an "inheritance chart" that shows how the licenses get progressively more complex. If you'd like a copy, here's the link:
