I'll share my insights on FLOSS license compliance based on my experiences at a certain Very Big Corporation of America that I worked at for about 9 years. Topics I will try to cover include: * What the internal attitudes toward FLOSS license compliance are; * What sorts of tools are useful and desirable; * Noteworthy facts and semi-informed speculations about uptake and usage of GPLv3-licensed code, the Linux kernel, and containerization; * Advice on what FLOSS developers can do to make license compliance activities easier for well-intentioned engineers and companies; and * The role the Linux Foundation and commercial license-scanning and compliance-evaluation companies perform in industry.
