Open Source License Compliance bei Embedded-Systemen

Open Source License Compliance bei Embedded-Systemen 
( Kompaktseminar, ESE Kongress 2016, in Sindelfingen )
Referent: Dr. Till Jaeger, JBB Rechtsanwälte
Zeit: 28.11.16 09:00-12:30


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.

Outline:
  1. What is Open Source Software?
  2. How does the open source license model work?
  3. Legal consequences of violation of OSS license terms
  4. How is it ensured that the use of OSS is known and which licensing conditions are affected?
  5. The Copyleft (1): When must self-development be released again as OSS?
  6. Copyleft (2): Verification of license compatibility between different OSS licenses
  7. Process to comply with sales obligations (for example, source code offer, co-delivery license texts)
  8. Methods of quality control

National Workshop on Advanced Nanoscale Device Design Using TCAD

The National Workshop on Advanced Nanoscale Device Design Using Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD) was organized by the IEEE SolidState Circuits Society (SSCS) College of Engineering Chengannur, India Chapter. The workshop was held 28 December 2015 through 1 January 2016 as a three-day tutorial and two-day handson session. The event was graced with the presence of distinguished lecturers from top institutions in India, including Prof. Yogesh S. Chouhan from IIT Kanpur delivering the keynote talk. The workshop attracted approximately 150 participants from 15 reputable academic institutions. People from industry and also attended the event.
The coordinators were proud to present a successful workshop as one of the first events since the formation of the Chapter. The event was funded by the SSCS extra subsidy program. The feedback received from the attendees was very positive. Each participant received a certificate during the closing ceremony of the event. The five-day workshop came to an end by the heartfelt vote of thanks by Nisha Kuruvilla, with a motto “This is just the beginning.” [read more...]
