Using Open Source software in your Business is great way to have a small team do great things, but there are some sharp edges. Especially if your startup is shooting for an Exit, or your in a big company. The goal of this talk is to go over some common license types, use cases, tooling to help you track your use of Open Source, and techniques to ensure your continued use of Open Source inside your business doesn't impede your progress.
Here are some of the topics and technologies I'll be going over in this talk:
License Categories: Permissive, Copyleft, "Trialware", and "Generally Business Incompatible"
License Tracking: SBOM and SPDX
License Tooling: Syft, Fossa
