FOSSID: OSS Source Code License Management

Open source software (OSS) has become very attractive and is being utilized by many companies that leverage IT. Additionally, in the development of embedded products, the use of OSS is also increasing without going against this trend. However, when using OSS, companies face many challenges, including compliance aspects such as trends in government and community, legal knowledge, and OSS license management, as well as issues related to cybersecurity and vulnerability management. This time, we have prepared a seminar aimed at resolving various questions and concerns that companies may have when using OSS. The seminar will feature a presentation by attorney Kentaro Ohori on legal fundamentals, as well as discussions on effective utilization and management methods of OSS, inter-company collaboration activities regarding OSS compliance, responses to international standardization and certification/security technologies for OSS, and proper license management of OSS. The seminar aims to boost motivation for using OSS and provide the necessary information for safe utilization. We look forward to your participation.
