IOSN Releases Draft Primer on Free/Open Source Software Licensing for Public Review

IOSN has produced a primer on Free/Open Source Software Licensing and an
early pre-copyedited draft of the primer is now available for public
review and feedback.

This primer is an introductory summary of licensing issues involved with
using the different FOSS licenses, primarily the GNU GPL license. It
offers several scenarios, and proposes a framework for licensing of
government sponsored software. The primer also addresses common
questions and misconceptions regarding copyright and licensing issues.
