Infoshare: OSS Licensing and Licence Compliance Guidelines for Software Developers

This infoshare concentrates on licence selection, management, and related software project artefacts, with a focus on the "Software Licence Selection and Management in GÉANT" guidelines for software developers. It also spotlights descriptions and discussions on the compatibility of common Open Source Software (OSS) licences used in GÉANT software and summarised in "Important Licences for Licence Selection." The objective is to promote the practical use of these materials, providing an overview of efficient preparation, information gathering, and proper software licensing.

The session will furnish participants with insights into complying with a selected licence, offering detailed implementation instructions from a developer's perspective, along with in-depth information on creating essential licensing artefacts. Additionally, the infoshare emphasises vulnerabilities and licensing issues related to third-party libraries, as well as the support provided by WP9 Task 2 and the IPR Coordinator through Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and Software Licence Analysis (SLA) services.
