Open Source Software has seen mass adoption in the last decade and potentially forms the majority of software today. It is realised through legal instruments, private law agreements, licences, governance, and community norms—all of which lead to the sharing of intellectual property and to economic and commercial disruption in technology. Written by world leading Open Source and legal experts, this new edition of Open Source Law, Policy and Practice is fully updated with a global focus on technology and market changes over the last decade. The work delivers an in-depth examination of the community, legal, and commercial structures relating to the usage and exploitation of Open Source. This enables readers to understand the legal environment within which Open Source operates and what is required for its appropriate governance and curation in enterprise and the public sector. This is achieved by focusing on three main areas: intellectual property rights; the governance of Open Source; and the business and economic impacts.
Open Source Law, Policy and Practice
This book examines various policies, including the legal and commercial aspects of the Open Source phenomenon. Here, 'Open Source' is adopted as convenient shorthand for a collection of diverse users and communities, whose differences can be as great as their similarities. The common thread is their reliance on, and use of, law and legal mechanisms to govern the source code they write, use, and distribute. The central fact of open source is that maintaining control over source code relies on the existence and efficacy of intellectual property ('IP') laws, particularly copyright law. Copyright law is the primary statutory tool that achieves the end of openness, although implemented through private law arrangements at varying points within the software supply chain. This dependent relationship is itself a cause of concern for some philosophically in favour of 'open', with some predicting (or hoping) that the free software movement will bring about the end of copyright as a means for protecting software.
Advances in Diabetes Technology
This book aims to provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of the most recent advances in the use of technology to support the treatment of diabetes. It discusses not only the evidence supporting these technologies, but also the practicalities of their use. Few resources are available to guide the clinical provider in the choice and application of glucose sensing systems and insulin delivery devices to improve clinical outcomes. Advances in Diabetes Technology is intended to provide such a resource. While the use of these technologies is relatively common in the outpatient setting, their use in the inpatient setting is becoming increasingly common. This book is designed to help the both the inpatient and outpatient clinical provider to recognize and understand diabetes technology and the ways in which it can be used during acute and critical illness. In addition, it explores software algorithms used to develop automated treatment plans and apps used by patients independently of direct involvement by their physician. Lastly, this book discusses do-it-yourself technologies used and developed by patients outside of the traditional care setting and without the professional guidance to modify and enhance existing technologies for customized use. The use of DIY diabetes technologies is promoted on social media and has been adopted by many younger patients. Familiarity with this emerging brand of diabetes technology is needed to ensure clinicians understand their patients and their management of diabetes.
