Open source license compliance⸺Why and how? (Hendrik Schoettle, IEEE Computer)

I’m happy to report that the third article in the new open source column of IEEE Computer has been published.

Title	Open Source License Compliance⸺Why and How?
Keywords	Open-source software, licenses, software packages
Authors	Hendrik Schoettle, Osborne Clarke, Munich, Germany
Publication	Computer vol. 52, no. 8 (August 2019), pp. 63-67

Abstract: Compliance with open source software (OSS) license requirements is necessary but often overlooked. This article explains how OSS license compliance differs from compliance with commercial software licenses, why it is necessary even though OSS is generally free, and what requirements have to be met with OSS.

As always, the article is freely available (local copy).
