Title: Copyright Licensing of Free and Open Source Software
+
To be added
 
+
Speaker: Vance Kochenderfer
+
 
+
My previous [[Meeting-20141018|Introduction to Copyright]] talk covered the basics of copyright law and how it applies to software.
+
 
+
This is a follow-on presentation discussing the most common licenses used for Free and Open Source software, covering items like:
+
* How they operate within copyright law
+
* How to apply one to your work
+
* Why you would want to choose a particular license
+
* What happens when disputes come up
+
 
+
If you have any questions about licensing, please bring them and I'll try to help.  I can't guarantee that you'll get a correct answer, though.  :-)
