[NBLUG/Announce] General Meeting TONIGHT - Open Source Licensing Case Study: Midonet

[Allan Cecil]

Tonight's talk should be of interest to anyone who has considered working on an open-source project and I'm looking forward to it.

Following Mark's talk we will have our elections which are disputed this time around.  Come ready to vote!

See you there,

A.C.

> Midokura released Midonet under the Apache license in 2014. This talk will explain why Midokura released the software under an open source license and why it picked Apache. In order to understand the options, the business models used with GPL and Apache will be discussed, which will include comparing the rights granted under the two licenses. Midonet will also be explained, at a very high level, to provide context for the decision to make it open source. Please note that this talk should not be construed as legal advice.
