Open Source in Products

The challenge: Deliver license-compliant open source or get sued

Manufacturers of products containing open source software must fulfill the obligations imposed on them by the licenses of the open source code used. Otherwise, there is a risk of an immediate halt to sales and deliveries upon discovery.

The solution: License-compliant delivery of open source in products

This seminar provides a comprehensive introduction to the license-compliant delivery ("distribution") of products that contain open source code. It is based on an integrative perspective that shows how the legal department, the development department, and the person or department charged with managing open source can work together. The seminar is suitable for all key stakeholders and ensures effective collaboration.
