The LES USA-Canada High Tech Sector webinar will provide an up‑to‑date overview of open source software (OSS) from an intellectual property and licensing perspective, with particular attention to why OSS risk has changed in recent years.
The speakers will review the fundamentals of OSS licensing, including permissive and copyleft models, common compliance pitfalls, and how OSS can affect proprietary rights and valuation. The discussion will then turn to modern risk drivers—such as software supply‑chain attacks, SBOM expectations, and regulatory developments—and concludes with guidance for OSS due diligence, compliance programs, and M&A transactions.
The session is designed for licensing professionals who need to evaluate business and IP opportunities and risks related to OSS.
