Speaker:
Mark Radcliffe, Partner, DLA Piper US, LLP.
In this panel we'll bring together a number of leading open source business experts to discuss the market and economic impact of open source on the proprietary software industry.
The shift from a proprietary to an open source business model requires a careful review of legal issues. These issues include ensuring that the company has the rights from third parties to make its product available under an open source license and selecting an appropriate open source license. The shift to an open source business model also requires that a company rethink its intellectual property strategy since it will no longer be able to rely on trade secret protection.
