I've recently listened to an excellent presentation on free and open source software from Jason Haislmaier, a partner at Holme, Roberts & Owen in Boulder, Colorado. His slides are posted on his blog. He presented the work as a webinar at Matt Asay's (Alfresco) request. I offered to host Jason's audio through my podcast, and to that end I have broken it into 3 parts:
- Episode 02 - Free and Open Source Licensing (Part 1) [29:05]
- Episode 03 - Free and Open Source Licensing (Part 2) [40:05]
- Episode 04 - Free and Open Source Licensing (Q&A) [26:25]
[If you're an iTunes fan, you can find the podcast feed via the iTunes store as well. Search for "Stephen Walli" in Podcasts.]
Mark Radcliffe from DLA Piper LLC also recently published a presentation that is a great introduction to free and open source software in general, and the GPL Version 3 (GPLv3) in particular. The early presentation is pretty straight forward introductory level material, but around 34:00 [slide 12] he begins the discussion on GPLv3. Mark led one of the committees (Committee C) that helped develop GPLv3 so it's a great perspective. Instructions to get to the slides and audio are available on Mark's blog.
If you're interested in legal issues and free and open source software, both gentlemen bring great experience and perspective to the issues through there blogs.
