Dear Mr. Jain

Palle M. Pederson

on
" SOA and Software Licensing "

About the Topic:

SOA and Software Licensing: What Developers Need to Know about Application Boundaries

The open source community is debating the meaning of software licensing in the brave new world of service-oriented architectures (SOA). In an SOA environment, one application accesses another application's functionality, using it to perform a specific function. As a result, application boundaries are anything but clear.

Those following the debates within the Free Software Foundation about GPLv3, due out in early 2007, know that a primary issue for the organization is implications of application-to-application interactions for programs governed by the GPL.

The session will be led by Palle Pederson, Chief Technology Officer at Black Duck Software, an expert in the relationship between open source application development and software licensing.

Palle will discuss:

How service oriented architectures present new software licensing quandaries;

How open source developers can avoid these quandaries;

What the quandaries mean broadly for the software licensing debate;

How the Free Software Foundation and others are acting to alleviate the issue
