yes. But to be frank i lack expertise in that subject. I can be a
listener of that paper.
Handling the Legal issues is far more complicated than writing a
software. Further there are as many forms of Open Source license as
Linux Distros (ok, a said a little more :)). And the further
complication is most of the licenses cannot be mixed even the versions
of same license is incompatible CMIIMW.

This book would be a very good reference
