Copyright & Software
Presented by: Frank Siler (@fsiler)

Who cares about copyright? You should care because your decisions influence such factors as:

• How others can legally use your software.
• If your own projects become “infected” by a license you didn’t choose.
• Whether you must distribute source code if you distribute or even use software to serve up content.
• How others can use your photos on Flickr and other sources.
• Understanding how Wikipedia and other open references work.
• Whether you get sued for a LOT of money.

Frank will help us understand the basics of copyright and licensing and how it affects our lives and specifically our work as software developers.
