Lesson - BLUG talk

Well-known speaker Stephen Walli is flying out to Colorado to talk on

 Open Source Software Economics, Standards, and IP in One Lesson

this Thursday for the Boulder Linux User's Group.  Read on for
details.  Sounds like a good one.

(....except for the annoying misuse of the term IP, not to mean the
Internet Protocol, but to mean "Intellectual Property".  But it isn't
the intellectual stuff that is someone's property, it is the rights to
it that temporarily is considered property.  In my experience IPR
means Intellectual Progress Restrictions....   For more, see

Summary of 'Open Source Software Economics, Standards, and IP in One Lesson'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The talk looks at the economic relationships between free and open source
software, standards and intellectual property, and how they relate to
businesses using open source software. Based on past experiences (Optaros,
Microsoft, Softway, MKS), it looks at open source software in business
from the perspective: It's just software; It's just economics; It's just
business; It's just software licensing. There's nothing inherently new
about developing good software, communities, collaboration, or IP
licensing, but the yardsticks may have changed

Pre meeting food
----------------

Please join us informally for a bite to eat at Panera Bread before the
meeting, around 5:30 P.M.  Panera is in the 29th street mall, east of
Highway 36/28th street near Walnut.
