Open Source Summit + ELC Europe 2018

Open source software is being widely used in the industry across the globe. It has tremendous benefits and provides power to the developers. However, to quote a line from the movie, Spiderman: "With great power, comes great responsibility."

Unfortunately, very few users of OSS are aware of the compliance responsibility and fail to fulfill the obligations associated with OSS licenses. There are two reasons - lack of awareness and lack of accountability.

Supriya Chitale will shed some light on the pitfalls of using OSS without proper compliance. She will also discuss the general deterrence for OSS compliance among developers, how it can be overcome, and the best practices adopted at Siemens.
