Making Sense of so many License Compliance Tools
FOSDEM 2019

License Compliance has become big business. Many proprietary tools exist, but fortunately in recent years FLOSS tools to aid understanding the licenses of codebases have been created. This panel includes developers of many of these freely available tools. We'll discuss what these tools do, if they can actually address compliance problems in the wild yet, and the general challenges of developing freely available tools in a heavily proprietarized industry.

Speakers: Bradley M. Kuhn Michael Jaeger Philippe Ombredanne Valerio Cosentino Max Sills Thomas Steenbergen
