What should an open source representative know?
- by Hans
I was recently made the "open source representative" for our software team. Some of the duties include:
Tracking FOSS used in our projects
Propose FOSS solutions to the software team
Being the intermediary between the software team and the legal department
While I have some experience with FOSS, I was wondering:
Where I can get a good overview of FOSS licenses?
What should I be aware of when dealing with the legal department?
How can I gently introduce the team to FOSS?
