Full Title: A comparative approach to open-source technology and business licenses for mobile applications for development
Lecturer: Amy ter Haar
Summary: Organizations launching and managing mobile applications, (especially with regard to Social Enterprise Organizations) often overlook the intricacies involved when making a decision to adopt technology and business licenses and how such licences become intertwined. Accordingly, this webinar will review how these licences affect one another and will include a comparative approach to discuss the similarities and differences between common open source technology licences, namely, Apache 2, and the precedent-setting business licences such as Creative Commons. Furthermore, it will briefly explain how adopting once licence over another for your mobile application will be affected by the technology and business licences that you choose for an application to illuminate how this is linked to the enterprise structure of the organization.
A case study will be presented to explain how adopting a Creative Commons licence in conjunction with both Apache 2 and GLP makes a practical business difference when launching a new social enterprise mobile application.
