Skadden’s IP and Technology team in London kicks off its series of bite-sized insights about key issues shaping the tech landscape. In the first episode of “Bytes,” Emily Griffin demystifies open source software (OSS) and copyleft licensing—a topic that frequently catches companies unprepared. While OSS forms the backbone of modern tech stacks and powers everything from infrastructure to AI models, many licenses come with conditions that can create unexpected legal obligations. Emily explains the crucial distinction between permissive licenses like MIT and Apache, which impose minimal requirements, and copyleft licenses like GPL, which impose stronger obligations. Tune in to learn the three essential steps that can protect you from breaching license terms.
