Linaro Connect BKK16 Keynote on GPL Compliance

Today I had the pleasure of co-presenting with Shane Coughlan the Linaro Connect BKK16 Keynote on GPL compliance about GPL compliance.

The main topics addressed by this presentation are:

  • Brief history about GPL enforcement and how it has impacted the industry

  • Ultimate Goal of GPL enforcement is compliance

  • The license is not an end in itself, but rather to facilitate collaborative development

  • GPL compliance should be more engineering and business driven, not so much legal (compliance) driven.
