Licenses are Not the Hard Part

This week, I will have the opportunity to meet in-person with many others who have focused attention on legal aspects of FOSS. The European OpenSource & Free Software Law Event will be held in Brussels on December 9, 2009 (http://www.eolevent.eu/). 

My presentation at that event is titled "Current trends in the Hardware sector: HP Experience". In looking back over the more than 15 years that HP has been involved in FOSS, I conclude that, what has changed is that licenses are no longer the hard part.
