The document discusses open source licensing. It begins with an introduction to open source licensing and defines open source code as code that is copyrighted but licensed to allow copying, remixing, and redistribution. It then outlines different types of open source licenses, including restrictive licenses like the Apple Public Source License and more permissive commercial use licenses like the BSD and Apache licenses. Finally, it discusses some risks of using open source licenses, noting that open source code can be easily copied and that investors prefer clear ownership of code not subject to open source requirements.

Rogue Wave CTO Rod Cope presented on open source software for the IoT and will explain how the devil's in the details.
Open source software (OSS) is growing in software development today especially in the IoT space, driving technical innovation, enabling productivity gains, and touching everything from big data and cloud to mobile and embedded. The use of OSS is favorable, because it decreases the time to market and reduces cost. Despite its importance and reach, there’s little understanding within the development community regarding OSS license obligations and what is requested for compliance.
While it’s free, easy to find, and pushes software to the market faster, it’s vital to understand how to use OSS safely.

But most open source software comes with strings attached, and if misunderstood, they can trip up the unwary.
Recently Ansel Halliburton held a webinar to discuss the common pitfalls in open source licensing, and the best practices for avoiding them.

ALL EYES ON RAFAH BUT WHY Explain more.pdf46adnanshahzad
All eyes on Rafah: But why?. The Rafah border crossing, a crucial point between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, often finds itself at the center of global attention. As we explore the significance of Rafah, we’ll uncover why all eyes are on Rafah and the complexities surrounding this pivotal region.
INTRODUCTION
What makes Rafah so significant that it captures global attention? The phrase ‘All eyes are on Rafah’ resonates not just with those in the region but with people worldwide who recognize its strategic, humanitarian, and political importance. In this guide, we will delve into the factors that make Rafah a focal point for international interest, examining its historical context, humanitarian challenges, and political dimensions.
In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

terms
♔ Investors want very clean room approach to code
ownership

22. Competitor Risk
♔ Cannot sue the competitor if they use your own modified
