“The critical importance of use-neutrality in F/OSS licensing” presented by Roland Turner. Roland outlines why embedding exclusionary “ethical use” obligations in F/OSS licenses seems like a great idea, however it undermines both the freedom objectives of Free Software and the inclusiveness objectives of Open Source Software. Then he details what harm expanding the Open Source Definition to support it would do, and what cooperation between F/OSS and exclusionary communities might be possible.
“GPL Exceptions: Filling the Spaces between GPL, LGPL and permissive licenses” presented by Karen M Sandler and Bradley M Kuhn. In this talk, Kuhn and Sandler will introduce the general idea of GPL exceptions and how they work to carve out the spectrum of licensing between the GPL, LGPL, and the highly permissive licenses. Specifically, Kuhn and Sandler will cover in detail the GCC Runtime Library Exception, which they both helped draft. They will also discuss the AGPLv3 Web Template Output Additional Permission, which was published by Conservancy initially for use by the Houdini project.
“Open collaboration successes and hard lessons: Practical lessons from 10 years of Eclipse Working Groups” presented by Gaël Blondelle. Open Source is an enabler for collaboration! Easier said than done. In 2010, Airbus reached out to the Eclipse Foundation with an idea: Could they replicate our established governance in their own domain? This inspired a new concept: Eclipse Working Groups. Since then, we have created more than 15 working groups. Along the way, we have learned from each of them, identified different kinds of collaborations, and experienced outstanding successes as well as frustrating failures.
