rPath webinar on virtual appliance licensing featuring Mark Webbink

Very interesting webinar with Mark Webbink (formerly SVP and GC of Red Hat).

10 Rules of the Road for Licensing and Packaging Linux-based Virtual Appliances

December 13, 2007 @ 2:00 pm Eastern Time

Distributing software as virtual appliances with Just Enough Operating System – specifically Linux - is a rapidly expanding market opportunity. But for many traditional proprietary software vendors, open source licensing is an unfamiliar road.

If you are an ISV planning, building, or already shipping virtual appliances, don’t miss this webinar. Former SVP and Deputy General Counsel at Red Hat Mark H. Webbink will map out ten essential check points for packaging Linux with an application into a virtual appliance, addressing cumbersome roadblocks such as copyright protection for collective works v. derivative works.

Webinar seats for this event are limited so register early to reserve yours. All registrants will receive a copy of Mark’s white paper, “Licensing and Packaging for Virtual Appliances” after the event.

We are accepting questions in advance only and Mark will address them in the second half of the webinar. Please submit your questions on the registration form or send them to info@rpath.com .
