As a software developer, do you utilize open source code in the work you deliver clients?

As a business, do you integrate readily available open source tools into your business applications? …into products you sell?

As a software vendor, have you ever considered limiting others’ use of code your team generates through licensing?

If so, do you know if you are complying with all of the license terms within the open source code you are using? As lucrative as leveraging open source may be, licensing is tricky. Can you afford to be wrong?

On February 17, 2009 the Saper Law Open Source Symposium will be held in Chicago, IL. This all day conference brings together members of the Open Source community for an in depth discussion of the business and legal ramifications of using or producing open source software. The panel of speakers will range from individual developers who code for businesses and web based platforms to representatives of software giants like Microsoft. In addition, Saper Law attorneys will delve into licensing and copyright issues while academic professors will lend the policy reasons behind the OS movement. The event will culminate in a first time demonstration of a software program that assists businesses and their attorneys with OS licensing compliance.

A full conference schedule, complete with presenters’ bios, will be posted to the Saper Law site in upcoming weeks. Microsoft and TechCocktail are already confirmed sponsors. Other companies interested in sponsoring should contact Daliah Saper as soon as possible. (dsaper@saperlaw.com.)
