Oh my license! – Achieving order by automation in the license chaos of your dependencies
Paul Müller
License issues can haunt you at night.
You spend days, weeks, and months developing beautiful software.
But then it happens.
You realize that an essential dependency is GPL-3.0 licensed.
All your code is now infected with this license.
Now you are forced to either:
1. Rewrite all parts relying on the other library
2. Open-source your codebase under the GPL-3.0 license
How could this have been avoided?
Join the talk and find out!
First, we’ll give you a brief introduction to different software licenses and their implications.
Second, we’ll show you how to automate your license checking using open-source software.
