Am 29.2. und 1.3. war das SLUB #OSL Gastgeber des Kickoffs für das sächsische Datenkompetenzzentrum #Come2Data. In den kommenden knapp drei Jahren werden Beratungs- und Vermittlungsangebote zur Steigerung der #Datenkompetenz in #Forschung, #Gesellschaft und #Wirtschaft entwickelt. Ziel ist die Etablierung einer dauerhaft angelegten Unterstützungsstruktur für einen professionellen Umgang mit Daten in allen Schritten des Forschungsprozesses.

About one year ago I touched up with wonderful sculptor and mini converter Luke Mockeridge and we agreed on an art swap painted as an art swap, and so here is the first servitor in all its mechanical glory.

Thank you for the recommendation to read Lawrence Rosen's "Open Source Licensing: Software Freedom and Intellectual Property Law", July 2004. It was very informative, and clarified a lot of issues for me around licensing, patents, trademarks, copyright, and contract law.

Because it was published in 2004, it only describes the GPLv2 and not the GPLv3 and does not include the AGPL. The strongest open source license in the book appears to be Rosen's own OSL (Open Source License) because of its broader focus not limited to "programs" or "files" as the GPL and MPL do.

Do you have any recommendations for a book to read that includes the newer open source reciprocal licenses and the more modern open source licensing landscape? I am hoping to compare the AGPL and the OSL and possibly newer reciprocal licenses, or understand newer arguments for/against reciprocal agreements.

Thanks again!
