Welcome to Tech Tuesdays, where we post content relating to the Law and its Impact on Computing and Technology. This is Part 3 of our series on Open-Source Software.
In the last 2 parts, we defined open-source software and the types of OSS licenses; permissive and copyleft. We mentioned that OSS licenses do not begin to operate until the software is distributed.
But, what is distribution? Under what circumstances is OSS considered to be distributed? How can my IT/tech company distribute software in a way that does not infringe on the authors’ copyright? These are the questions we tackle in this week’s segment.
