Open source projects typically bring together employees of multiple companies, many of whom are likely to be competitors. While the result is intended to be a public good, the setting also provides the opportunity for the inadvertent (or deliberate) violation of laws relating to antitrust and competition laws. Since penalties for both individuals and their employers can be severe, it’s important that all those involved in OSS development have an understanding of the rules that apply.
This course is intended for all individuals that participate in open source projects at any level - contributors, maintainers, Steering Committee members and Governing Board members.
This course provides a basic understanding of what antitrust and competition laws are all about and how they apply to open source development. It will also cover best practices of safe collaboration and the types of activities that should be avoided.
This course will prepare you to be a legally responsible participant in open source project activities of any type.
It's a privilege to hear and get advice from such a very experienced law professional, many thanks to the Linux Foundation for this course!
I like the distinction made between US antitrust laws and EU antitrust laws.
Great overview of the dos, don'ts, and recommendations when engaging with legal, to ensure the appropriateness of discussions.
The explanation, in general, was all clear from the beginning, no matter which country you're located in, antitrust policies provide a guidance of what is expected from us as a whole open source team.
There are no requirements for this course.
