11-20, 13:30–13:55 (Pacific/Auckland), WG308 TE IRINGA
What even is Intellectual Property? I thought this was a Free Open Source Software conference!
I'll talk about potential issues with software licensing and other boring but important topics to ensure everyone keeps having a good time (except the lawyers).
Intellectual Property laws and rights are a "Boring but Important” part of the open-source software ecosystem.
In this talk I'll cover a few topics:
* The nascent EU Cyber Resilience Act, a new governing framework outlining some additional rights/restrictions/responsibilities for software producers.
* Why you should care about Intellectual Property Rights.
* Defining Copyright and Licensing
* How to choose a Software License
* How to apply a Software License
