Open Source - Closed
Minds - Challenges to the current legal environment in accommodating
open source
The law and legal practitioners in general
have often taken a suspicious stance in addressing IP in the
open source arena. The nature of open source with its seemingly
promiscuous approach to sharing of intellectual property rights
coupled with the various iterations of licences governing
the usage of open source content today has led to this guarded
approach. Rajesh will seek to provide a snapshot of the current
legal challenges and provide a way forward in taking a more
accommodating approach to open source from a legal perspective
in the context of the 21st century Zeitgeist.
