ENLIGHT RISE and Arqus Ambassadors Webinar #3: Open Source Software and Open Licenses

Pablo García-Sánchez, Professor of Computer Science, University of Granada (Arqus Alliance) will be talking about Open Source Software and Open Licenses - A practical approach
What is the relation between Open Science and Software Licenses? What is the difference between Free Software and Open Source? Which process should I follow to share my software? In this presentation, we will demystify various software licenses, ranging from permissive ones like MIT and Apache to copyleft licenses such as the GNU General Public License (GPL). We will demonstrate how the choice of a particular license can influence the accessibility, distribution, and reuse of scientific software, highlighting the pivotal connection between open-source licensing and the principles of Open Science.
