April 07, 2008OSS April 8 Podcast--Talking to... Mark Radcliff of the Open Source Initiative
As regular readers know, the Open Source Initiative (OSI) is our favorite non-profit on these pages. So when we recently got a “trackback” from the very readable “Law and Life: Silicon Valley” blog written by Mark Radcliffe, general counsel of the OSI, we invited Mark to sit in for a podcast.
Mark also ran the "Users" committee reviewing the GNU General Public License (GPL) version3 draft. He earned a B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Michigan and a J.D. from Harvard Law. In addition to his OSI work (it is a non-profit) he has been practicing law up and down the 101 for over 25 years and is a senior partner at DLA Piper. DLA Piper has 3600 lawyers in 25 countries and 65 cities.
Of course lawyers can't pass out legal advice in a podcast setting but this 8-1/2 minute interview contains important information CIOs and staffers should think about as open source software begins to find its way into every nook and cranny of the enterprise.
