| dc.description.abstract | Software is subject to copyright protection. Therefore, in order to use a piece of software, any entity other than the copyright holder must rely on a legal basis, such as a license. Open source software is a specific kind of software which, in some industries, reaches up to 85% of all used software. What distinguishes open source software is the special category of licenses it relies on. These open source licenses grant a broad range of rights to the licensee, but they also require the fulfillment of obligations in certain cases, such as when a copy of the software or a derivative work thereof is distributed to third parties. This creates a necessity for organizations to develop processes that evaluate whether, and to what extent, components under particular open source licenses can be used in certain business con-texts. The more open source software components an organization uses, the greater the need to enhance the process with automation. As a result, the role of legal professionals in this process changes significantly. | |
