Evaluating a program's free software licensing workshop

Abstract

Being able to take a random program from the Internet and be confident whether it is free software or not, solely based on the available documentation within the program’ s source code, is a useful skill. (This is not legal advice and Craig is not a lawyer.) This workshop involves walking the participants through the evaluation process of a computer program’ s licensing in order to determine if it is eligible for entry in the Free Software Foundation’s Free Software Directory.
