Can Open Source Licensing Be Applied to Data? [Sponsored]

// Open source software has permeated the technology world in nearly every industry over the past decade. In fact, a majority of organizations today are using open source software in at least some capacity.

Open source software is software that users can access in source code form, without limitations on the scope of its use or whether it can be modified or redistributed in the future. There are numerous open source software licenses, each with their own compliance requirements.

googletag.cmd.push( function() { // Enable lazy loading. googletag.pubads().enableLazyLoad({ renderMarginPercent: 150, mobileScaling: 2 }); // Display ad. googletag.display( "div-id-for-top-300x250" ); googletag.enableServices(); });

The success of the open source model as applied to software has made many question if the same ideas could be applied in the area of data, especially as business across all sectors has become increasingly data-driven.

To date, however, attempts to apply the open source paradigm to the realm of data have been both problematic and unsuccessful. To learn why, register for PLI’s upcoming  one-hour program, Beyond Open Data: The Only Good License is No License.

The session will cover a number of the most pressing topics relevant to the open source data question, including:

googletag.cmd.push( function() { // Enable lazy loading. googletag.pubads().enableLazyLoad({ renderMarginPercent: 150, mobileScaling: 2 }); // Display ad. googletag.display( "div-id-for-middle-300x250" ); googletag.enableServices(); }); googletag.cmd.push( function() { // Enable lazy loading. googletag.pubads().enableLazyLoad({ renderMarginPercent: 150, mobileScaling: 2 }); // Display ad. googletag.display( "div-id-for-storycontent-440x100" ); googletag.enableServices(); }); googletag.cmd.push( function() { // Enable lazy loading. googletag.pubads().enableLazyLoad({ renderMarginPercent: 150, mobileScaling: 2 }); // Display ad. googletag.display( "div-id-for-in-story-youtube-1x1" ); googletag.enableServices(); });
