  • It is easy to incorrectly use Open Source code - licensing is complex.
  • Developers and outsourced partners are under extreme pressure to deliver; are they taking shortcuts?
  • The probability of being caught for unlawful software reuse is increasing significantly.

Gartner predict that by 2011, 80% of organisations will have open source code within their own software, whether they are aware of it or not.
Many well known commercial companies have already had problems resulting from unlawful use of Open Source Software within their code

The possible consequences are well documented:
  • Pay a significant fine.
  • Make your entire product open source
  • Recall all instances of your product and release updated versions
  • Likely to cause damage to your brand and reputation
  • May break contractual obligations you have with other companies/customers

The Clearvision/Black Duck Webinar will include:
  • Background on the legal risks associated with the use of Open Source code, delivered by Bird & Bird - a leading international IT law firm;
  • Strategic advice on the use of Open Source code;
  • Recall all instances of your product and release updated versions
  • A description of the key licensing issues arising from Open Source licences; and
  • An analysis of licence compatibility issues, including conflicts between Open Source licences and traditional proprietary licences.

Migrating from ClearCase to Subversion or Git?

If you are considering a migration from IBM Rational ClearCase to the open source SCM solutions Subversion or Git but are concerned about the technical complexity then a new Clearvision product provides the solution.

Clearvision have launched Migrate2SVN and Migrate2Git - the only migration tools to migrate full versioned history.

As an alternative CC2SVN & CC2Git provide a permanent integration between the two systems allowing your teams to move across at a time which is convenient rather than taking a "big bang" approach to migration
