Praxishandbuch Open Source

This practical handbook explains the legal requirements for the use of "Free and Open Source Software" (FOSS) in corporate practice, whether in the development of proprietary software or in the procurement of third-party software, as well as in smart devices. Conditions from license texts of the 1990s for programming languages of the 1980s jeopardize the timelines of current projects. Solving the associated problems requires both technical and legal understanding. The Open Source Practical Handbook compiles all necessary materials for a license-compliant use of open-source software, offers practical solutions, and helps establish a compliance process to master the license-compliant use of FOSS.
