This book provides a practical guide to open source compliance for managers, executives, and software developers working with open source technologies. Written by Dr. Ibrahim Haddad, an expert on open source compliance, you'll find explanations, case studies, and best practices for open source in the enterprise. Open source compliance means that users of open source software must observe all the copyright notices and satisfy all the license obligations for the open source software used. Users must also protect their intellectual property and that of third-party suppliers from unintended disclosure.
