Panel on Software Distribution with Sam Hartman, Richard Fontana, & Eben Moglen (SFLC Fall 2019)
Channel: Software Freedom Law Center
Date: 2019-11-08

Software Distribution – Sam Hartman (Debian Project Leader) & Richard Fontana (Senior Commercial Counsel at Red Hat), moderated by Eben Moglen (President and Executive Director of SFLC)

FOSS licensing and distribution models are now applied to software stacks integrated for long-term use, emphasizing stability over years guaranteeing reliability and compliance for downstream distributions. The same basic arrangements, legal and technical, are used for integrating stacks consisting of layers in containers with a possible lifetime of milliseconds. Different strains and challenges are experienced across the short- and long-lifetime distribution spectrum. This panel explores what we can learn about compliance and other subjects from these contrasts.

This recording comes from SFLC's 15th Anniversary Fall Conference. This conference was held on November 1, 2019 at Columbia Law School. Please find the conference program here: https://softwarefreedom.org/events/2019/annual-conference/
