Comments on: Open Source Risk Management: a chat with Doug Levin, Black Duck’s CEO http://robertogaloppini.net/2007/11/16/open-source-risk-management-a-chat-with-doug-levin-black-ducks-ceo/ “equally critical of proprietary and open source myths, advocating software choice beyond marketing and romanticism” Tue, 22 May 2012 08:22:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Doug Levin http://robertogaloppini.net/2007/11/16/open-source-risk-management-a-chat-with-doug-levin-black-ducks-ceo/comment-page-1/#comment-167891 Doug Levin Sat, 17 Nov 2007 18:50:57 +0000 http://robertogaloppini.net/2007/11/16/open-source-risk-management-a-chat-with-doug-levin-black-ducks-ceo/#comment-167891 I enjoyed my convo with Roberto, love his blog and agree with Mark Radcliffe that in a year it will be a different license landscape. It will take time for software developers to figure out the merits of v3 relative to other OSI approved licenses. Black Duck tracks license trends at http://www.blackducksoftware.com/oss. We are fastidious about only tracking deployed projects with licenses, not merely projects that express their intent to license in blogs and press releases.

Today I just wrote about a mobile platform that will be licensed under GPLv3 terms. I agree with you, only educated customers can do such a choice at this stage, that is good for you, right? ;-) Hi Mark, thank for joining the conversation.

I know that several of my commercial clients are seriously considering it, but are waiting for their next revision to make the announcement. I think that we need to wait until a year after the release of GPLv3 to understand the full extent of its adoption.
