Hi NCLUGers,
What: January NCLUG Meeting
When: January 8th, 6pm
Where: Mountain State Bank, 303 E. Mountain Ave (map on the website)
Food: adjurn to a nearby restaurant after the talk
Due to a problem with the room in December, that talk was delayed until
January. The Home State Bank people apologized for locking us out.
Presenter: Evelyn Mitchell <efm at tummy.com>
Topic: Licenses
The sucess of Linux was made possible by two things, the first was
the growth of the Internet, allowing for international collaboration
by developers. The second was the GNU Public License (the GPL), which
ensured that the products of this collaboration would remain open for
study and development.
Now there are 29 different licenses which have passed the Open Source
Initiative approval process. I'll be presenting a brief tour of the
rights software authors have, and the choices you are faced with
in choosing a license.
See you there!
