OPEN SOURCE ISN'T THE SAME AS 20 YEARS AGO

Open source is the new default for innovation, and many companies have made it their default. But do they think about open source and technology differently now?

IT'S THE DEFAULT, BUT THE USAGE EXPECTATIONS HAVE EVOLVED TOO

• There's a difference between open source usage for infrastructure vs. app-dev
• Who should care about open source licensing?
• How much are VCs dictating the open source license strategy?
• Does open-core have a place, or is it killing open source?
• It is OK to treat customers and competitors differently?
