Agenda - Accommodation

Legal compliance when using Open Source software in products is becoming increasingly important. It is generally accepted that automated procedures using software tools to support license compliance and detect possible license violations are highly recommended. However, a wide variety of Open Source and proprietory tools exist and it is not always clear which ones are best suitable for what purpose. Thus, the OSADL legal seminar will present an overview about the various available tools and provide assistance as to their usefulness in a particular situation. The tools that are used in the OSADL License Compliance Audit (LCA) – FOSSology, Ninka and the Binary Analysis Tool – will be covered in more detail. The seminar includes demonstration of realistic examples and practical “how to”recommendations.

The goal of the seminar is to provide a general understanding of the requirements of legal compliance with respect to Open Source Software and to obtain a better knowledge and better assessment of the selection criteria of the most common software tools that exist to support license compliance and detect possible license violations.

Software developers, employees, project managers and directors of R&D departments, license compliance officers, company lawyers and employees of legal departments, independent lawyers interested in Open Source software and related technologies, interested parties from the general audience.

The following speakers will take part in the seminar:

• Dr. Till Jaeger, Certified Copyright and Media Law Attorney and partner at JBB Rechtsanwälte, a Berlin based law firm, and a founding member of the Institute for Legal Questions on Free and Open Source Software (ifrOSS)
• Armijn Hemel, MSc, specialist for analysis of copyright violations in software and owner of Tjaldur Software Governance Solutions
• Stefan Maiwald, Senior Technical Account Manager EMEA, Black Duck Software
• Dr. Carsten Emde, General Manager of OSADL
