Appropriate Use of OSS - The Key Persons are Software Engineers - Satoru Ueda, Sony Corp.

In order to use OSS in appropriate manner, especially the license compliance view point, it must be a hard issue for many software engineers. Especially for embedded systems and IoT systems, there are tremendous cases of OSS distribution that we have to pay special attention. On the other hand many of those engineers might have experienced so much reluctant support from the legal staffs of each company even though those engineers eager to have the reinforcement. In this presentation we would like to consider the background of those legal staffs and discuss the way to get successful support from those experts.

About Satoru Ueda
From 2003, I have been engaged in a project to widely use Linux for consumer electronics appliances. In the project I have been supporting to establish and enhance collaborative relationship between the community and the embedded system developers. The challenge to harmonize with community and many Consumer Electronics products related companies is based upon my past experience of product planning and marketing for UNIX workstation and research of ecology of independent film making communities.
