Dear all, OSS Watch licensing expert Rowan Wilson will present a webinar this Wednesday (7th March) on the topic: "Choosing the right open source licence". There are many free and open source software licences, and while they all broadly attempt to facilitate the same things, they also have some differences. Some of the major differences can be grouped together into categories, and this talk acts as an introduction to these categories. Having attended this session, you will be able to understand which decisions you should take in order to select a licence for your code. Delegates will take away an understanding of: - The main categories of open source licences available - The implications of choosing one for the future of your software The webinar will be hosted by JISC. All the details can be found here: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/events/2012/03/webinaropensourcelicence.aspx The direct registration link is: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/events/2012/03/webinaropensourcelicence/registration.aspx We hope to see many of you at the webinar!
