The rapid embrace of open source software by many in the software industry raises novel issues that impact the life-cycle of the software product at a number of stages. Use of open source components requires consideration of product licensing strategy, code development management, financing issues and software industry customer concerns. Ted Sabety, principal of Sabety +associates, will provide insight into effective strategies for creating value through project management techniques, due diligence and contracting, product licensing terms, and important considerations regarding the risks and rewards of developing or using software products that have open source components. The presentation will include examples of open source licenses.
