N2  - "Many developers may believe in releasing their software freely but have hesitated because licensing issues are complicated, and their managers are afraid of losing control of the software. Understanding Open Source and Free Software Licensing clears up the confusion over open source and free software licenses and shows developers how to use them effectively. Readers will find in-depth explanations of how licenses compare, contrast, and interoperate, and the ways that license choices affect project possibilities." "This book discusses copyright, patent, and warranty issues and also explores how to choose among the licenses, the implications of working on projects where someone else has already chosen the license, and the liabilities created by violating license terms."--Jacket.
