Description
In this presentation we will introduce the different licencing types and cover some of the most common licences including their implications. We will also propose (a) solution(s) to automate licence compliance checks using code/tools in a CI/CD pippeline.
Relevance
Licenses are an important topic for legal compliance and risk mitigation, especially if the produced software product is supposed to be re-licensed and sold. As one can see with the license change of elasticsearch from an open-source Apache 2.0 license to a more restrictive Server Side Public License (SSPL), software licensing can have a massive impact on companies and software products.
