Abstract

Open source gets complicated if you are shipping code to customers. Web apps, mobile apps, container images, and sometimes even server code trigger the full brunt of license obligations of the open source code they build on. In this talk, I will review open source license obligations, business risks from failing to comply with the licenses, and how to get on the path of shipping products correctly.
