Publication Date: | 2010 | DOI: | 10.1109/ICDS.2010.52 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/13331 | Abstract: | FLOSS generates both enthusiasm and concern. In this paper we focus on the Canadian public sector, how it could benefit from FLOSS solutions, emphasising the strong connection existing between public function and Free and Open Source models. At the same time we analyse some of the major legal concerns linked with FLOSS, to distinguish real issues from Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD). | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Name: | ICDS 2010: The Fourth International Conference on Digital Society, St. Maarten, The Netherlands, 10th - 16th February, 2010 | Conference Details: | ICDS 2010: The Fourth International Conference on Digital Society, St. Maarten, The Netherlands, 10th - 16th February, 2010 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of The Fourth International Conference on Digital Society (ICDS), p. 294-300 | Publisher: | IEEE: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers | Place of Publication: | United States of America | Field of Research (FOR): | 080399 Computer Software not elsewhere classified 189999 Law and Legal Studies not elsewhere classified 180115 Intellectual Property Law |
