CastellanoCall for papers EOLE 2011: FOSS in business and FOSS in academia / research
FOSS-based business and business models, licensing practices in software development projects that incorporate or are based on FOSS, and corporate due diligence with regard to FOSS use are three of many areas of interest when studying the legal issues of FOSS in business. This year’s Event hopes to elucidate some of the main issues raised by creating and running a FOSS-based business, from the “provider’s” perspective, on the one hand, and, on the other, enterprise purchase or “adoption” of FOSS and how they collaborate with FOSS projects.
FOSS is also becoming ever more present in Academia, both in education and research and development. Universities are incorporating more and more FOSS in their online learning platforms and increasingly participating in research projects whose results are published under a FOSS license. How is this impacting online offerings and student services, and also technology transfer and spin-offs? In particular, what are the legal issues raised for these institutions through these activities?
Among other topics, we aim to cover:
-
License selection and management
-
Licensing models, dual licensing, “open-core”, licenses “in the cloud”
-
Warranties and guarantees in FOSS projects
-
FOSS-based software development contracts
-
Legal issues for FOSS-based supply chain management
-
Enterprise collaboration and contributions to FOSS projects
-
Trademark policies and management.
This call for papers is open until the end of July.
Some area are mandatory. Feel free to add any other information in the comments part of the webform.
