[$] Business models and open source
One of the more lively sessions that was held at the 2019 Legal and
Licensing Workshop (LLW) was Heather Meeker's talk on
open-source business models and alternative licensing. As a lawyer in
private practice, Meeker worked on
a number of the alternative licenses that were drafted and
presented over the last year or so. But she is also part of a venture
capital (VC) firm that is exclusively investing in companies focused on
open source, so she
has experience in thinking about what kinds of models actually work for
those types of businesses. |
