Open-source licenses allow software to be freely used, modified, or shared, while respecting the original programmer's authorship and intent. Explore the world of open source, and discover how to choose a licensing model for your app, in this Foundations of Programming course with attorney and technologist John V. Petersen. This is not a coding course. Rather, it's an exploration of the legal and business aspects of open-source software licensing—including topics such as contributor agreements and patent licenses. The major open-source licenses (GPL, MIT, and Apache) are covered in depth, and John also provides an overview of establishing a business entity for your software project: a key factor in the ongoing success of many open-source communities. Topics include: - What is a license? - What is a software license? - Understanding the principles of open source - Exploring the three basic licenses: GPL, MIT, and Apache - Choosing the right open-source license - Working with Creative Commons - Dual licensing - Granting contributor license agreements - Establishing a legal business entity for your development project Sharing Widget |
