Abstract: When using Linux and other open source software (OSS), the license terms of the GPL and other open source licenses must be adhered to. As license violations lead directly to copyright infringements, appropriate compliance measures are necessary. The compact seminar presents the essential requirements for a compliance process based on the OpenChain Initiative. OpenChain aims at an international standard for suppliers using OSS in your products.
