Evaluating a Programs Free Software Licensing Workshop
Evaluating a Program’s Free Software Licensing workshop
Abstract
This workshop involves walking participants through an evaluation process of a computer program’s licensing in order to determine if it is free software or not. This is not a master class on evaluating licenses for a mega-corporation, nor is it legal advice, and is not designed for lawyers. This is a grass roots level computer program evaluation process to determine if a program is licensed adequately to be called free software. Along the way, a reviewer may discover licensing issues or proprietary code files. They would then be in a position for sending suggestions to the project in order to resolve potential problems.
