It's All About The License
,----[ Quote ]
| As director of intellectual property strategy
| for the Linux Foundation and an attorney at
| Choate Hall & Stewart, Karen Copenhaver knows a
| bit about open source software licensing. She
| recently spoke with Dr. Dobb's editor in chief
| Jonathan Erickson.
|
| Dr. Dobb's: Are open source and public domain
| the same thing?
|
| Copenhaver: Not at all. Open source licenses are
| granted by the copyright holder and the license
| is an exercise of the copyright. In order to
| enjoy the benefits of the license, you must
| comply with its terms. If you don't comply with
| the license, you're not licensed--and another
| word for unlicensed use is "infringement."
