This course will explain the types of licence used in the Free Software arena. It will examine the legal questions involved in projects with multiple participants, describing what possibilities and dangers exist in mixing code from different sources. We will cover dual-licensing models, where code is released both freely for community use and in a closed propriety form for specific markets, and best-practice models for developers and projects that adopt Free Software. In addition to this, we will examine how Free Software licensing can be used to produce commercial products within the context of existing business models.
