BAYAVE GMBH

In 2019, there are several options for participating in our seminar on license-compliant delivery of products that contain open source software. Different seminar instances have different operators so you have to register through different events and companies. It will still be Prof. Riehle who will hold the seminar, naturally. Here is an overview (subject to change, mostly, additions):

Past seminars

In collaboration with Friedrich-Alexander-University, we are offering our seminar on license-compliant delivery of products that contain open source software next on Oct 22nd, 2019, 9am-5pm, in Erlangen, Germany. Please see the university landing page for course information and the registration form. This seminar will be held in German.

Products that contain open source software need to fulfill the obligations put upon them by the licenses of the open source code or lose the right to distribute (sell) the software. The following picture illustrates the vendor-internal workflow to get a product ready for license-compliant delivery to customers.

Bayave GmbH provides the following services that help vendors get license-compliant:

1. Seminar on license-compliant delivery. We provide public as well as firm-internal seminars on how to ready your product for license-compliant delivery to customers.
2. Creation of a bill-of-materials. Using a tool of your choice, we analyze your source code for contained open source code to create an inventory, the so-called bill-of-materials.
3. Standardized license interpretation. We provide a handbook with customer-proofed step-by-step guidance on how to fulfill open source license obligations and deliver to customers.
4. Open source governance. Beyond license compliance, we help companies set up an open source program office to both reach strategic goals as well as become a good open source citizen.
