Aaron Williamson & Karen M. Sandler July 28, 2011 OSCON Legal Basics for Developers: A (AN?) FAQ

Do I need to put copyright notices on my code to get a copyright?

What's the difference between free software and open source? Is there a legal distinction?

If I find some code and the header says it's open source, can I use it?

Why are there so many licenses?

Sounds complicated. Can I just put my code in the public domain?

My project is GPL'd, and some company is using it in its product, but not providing source. What should I do?

Can I sue them?

I'm signing an employment/contractor agreement, and it says the company owns all my work. How can I keep my copyrights to free software I develop on the side?

I submitted a patch to a project, and they want me to assign my copyrights. What does this mean? Should I do it?

I'm starting a free software project. Are there legal issues I should consider when choosing a name?

I hear that there are patents in the field I'm writing software for. Should I be concerned? Should I study the patents to make sure I'm not infringing?

What can I do to protect myself and my users from patents?

Should I incorporate a nonprofit for my software project?

Can you compare the abstraction-filtration-comparison test to the analytic dissection test?
