Meeker, an intellectual property lawyer, provides a resource for lawyers and professionals on the legal issues surrounding open source software licensing. As the book is aimed at both lawyers and businesspeople, it only goes into a medium amount of detail on legal and technical principles, summarized for those who are not familiar with them. She describes the basis and theory of open source licensing, how it can be used in commercial businesses, including common licenses and their structure, audits and compliance initiatives, notice requirements, patents, trademarks, and developing a corporate policy. The second section, aimed more at lawyers, focuses on compliance risk, with discussion of the enforcement of licenses, distribution, and open source in mergers and acquisitions and other transactions.

Arvustused

"In her book, Heather Meeker does a good job describing the "border dispute" of the Copyleft provision in the GPL" (ccsblog, March 16th, 2009) "So I would say, this is the book to read, for a good account of the legal aspects surrounding open source." (dw2-o.com, 7/6/08)
