We are fortunate to have Pedro Giffuni speaking with us on Thursday. Pedro is a Mechanical Engineer by profession but has been using FreeBSD since 1997, and eventually became a project committer in 2012. As part of his involvement in FreeBSD he also became an OpenOffice developer and was involved in the transition from a copyleft project under Oracle's umbrella to a permissively licensed project in order to become an Apache Software Foundation Top Level Project.
Outline of the talk: - How is Licensing handled in Open Source projects. - About FreeBSD and it's objectives. - Why SPDX is important to FreeBSD. - Strategy for adoption. - Progress Report. - Practical issues. - Open questions. _______ Apologies, I have had a conflict arise, so Gary will be hosting.
