FROM TONY BAILETTI bailetti AT ichu.com

Hello.  The December edition of the Open Source Business Resource is
now available in PDF and HTML formats at http://www.osbr.ca.

The theme of the December issue is "Clean intellectual property". This
issue includes two articles written by senior company executives, two
articles from academics, one from a lawyer, and one from an
independent consultant.

In addition to the six articles, the issue includes a call for
proposals from the Talent First Network and a letter asking OSBR
readers to join the Canadian Software Innovation Association, a
coalition currently concerned about the negative consequences of
importing US-style digital copyright legislation to Canada.

In this issue:

Doug Levin, CEO of Black Duck Software, identifies the best practices
for managing IP in development environments that use open source
components, commercial off-the-shelf components, and proprietary
components.

Mahshad Koohgoli & Richard Mayer, Protecode's CEO and Vice President
of Marketing respectively, discuss the current generation of solutions
for managing software IP cleanliness.

Andy Kaplan-Myrth from the University of Ottawa argues that Canada
needs copyright laws that support the open source model.

G.R. Gangadharan from the University of Trento and Michael Weiss from
Carleton University introduce the attributes of rights _expression_
languages.

Eric Smith, a lawyer with the firm Fraser Milner Casgrain, highlights
the changes between version 2 and version 3 of the GNU General Public
License.

Russell McOrmond, an Internet and F/LOSS consultant, outlines the new
copyright legislation which is before the Canadian Parliament.

We hope you enjoy this issue of the OSBR and look forward to your
feedback.  To contribute insightful articles to the OSBR, please

Happy holidays!

Regards

Tony Bailetti
