Palamida Sponsoring TechAmerica IP Event: You Have Open Source. Now What?
Palamida is proud to sponsor TechAmerica Technology & IP Event: You Have Open Source. Now What?
Dec 08, 2011 7:30 AM - 10:00 AM PT | Oregon Zoo Portland, OR
A few years ago, the conventional wisdom among companies was either to ride the open source wave or to avoid open source software at all costs. Now, the choice to avoid open source software is gone. Whether you are a hardware company or a software company, you have open source. It’s in your servers, it’s in your phone system, and it is almost certainly in your products whether they are hardware or software. The open source in your phone system is probably a great idea. The open source in your products, on the other hand, may not be. What should you do?
Join three industry experts who will discuss best practices you can bring to bear in order to reap the benefits of open source while avoiding the pitfalls. They will discuss what open source software is, how it found its way into your products, and what its advantages and disadvantages might be.
You will learn:
- Why you should stay on top of this issue;
- How you can manage your open source user obligations in a way that is mindful of limited resources;
- If that open source you just discovered in your product really means that you have to post your source code on your website.
Panel:
Mark Visnick is a practicing attorney and senior consultant with Johnson-Laird, Inc, where he specializes in forensic software analysis for litigation and software due diligence for mergers, acquisitions, and in-bound licensing deals. Marc will explain what open source is, what compliance entails, and where the risks lie.
Chris Perez is a software engineer and former engineering manager at Tektronix. Chris will provide practical advice about how technology companies can manage open source obligations in a way that is consistent with company values and mindful of limited resources.
Jeff Luszcz is the founder and VP of Services and Support at Palamida, where he leads the professional services team responsible for open source compliance audits. Jeff will discuss how Palamida helps companies manage open source software at all stages of their product lifecycles.
Moderator:
Brenna Legaard is an intellectual property attorney at Lane Powell, where she focuses her practice on helping her clients achieve their business goals by securing and enforcing their intellectual property rights.

Heather Meeker Webinar - Both Sides Now: Open Source Inside & Outside the Cloud
Computing in the 21st century is moving to the cloud. Web services, mobile applications, and virtualization have changed how we think about software. What does this mean to open source software licensing -- a model built on conventional notions of distribution?
Heather Meeker, Chair of the IP/IT Licensing and Transactions Group at Greenberg Traurig, and author of "The Open Source Alternative," will explain the issues that have grown from the collision of cloud computing and open source. Will clouds be the death of free software? Or vice versa? Join us for an in-depth, interactive session on these timely and relevant issues.

The US patent system is finally close to a major revision. The key provision is a change from ‘first to invent’ to ‘first to file’. It makes complete sense since IP ownership can be clearly traced to a document with a date, which will greatly reduce the incentive to litigate to figure out who was first to invent. It’s a step in the right direction – although not exactly a breakthrough. The rest of the world uses this system already. This system clearly favors large firms with the resources and processes to file fast and file often – and will put small firms at a disadvantage.
Does Google want to be a smartphone company? Maybe not – but you couldn’t tell from the headline this morning. $12.5B to acquire Motorola Mobility. But wait – they lined up HTC, Samsung and other to say that they thought the idea was a good one. So its likely the real deal is the 16,000 patents in the Motorola portfolio ($781,000 each). Assuming the deal closes, which is probably not a slam dunk, the follow-on moves will be telling. Is it a war chest for coming IP fights, or will Google actually continue the phone hardware business?
Palamida Introduces Enterprise Edition 5.0
New AutoExpert™ Capability Increases Automation and Accuracy
- November 18, 2010 - Palamida, the leader in application security for open source today announced general availability of its Palamida Enterprise Edition version 5.0. Palamida Enterprise Edition 5.0 adds significant advances in automation and usability to the industries’ most comprehensive solution for Software Composition Analysis. With Enterprise Edition 5.0, Palamida customers are able to discover and track their use of open source and other third party software used within their development projects in order to reduce intellectual property and security risks. Because open source and other third party software often makes up fifty percent or more of software projects today, taking explicit action to discover, remediate and track software content has become an essential part of today’s software development process.
"Intellectual Property and security compliance has become essential in today’s world of mixed source development projects", said Mark Tolliver, Palamida CEO. "Our goal is to make it a fast, accurate process and to give development teams confidence that they are building great apps and at the same time responsibly managing their use of externally developed code. Enterprise Edition 5.0 leverages five years of customer feedback, and hundreds of audit projects by our own services team to deliver the next generation of solution."
New capabilities in Enterprise Edition 5.0 include:
• AutoExpert™ - a new capability which dramatically increases the level of automated detection and reporting of software content, saving time and improving accuracy.
• QuickReview™ - a lightweight business process to allow stakeholders from development, legal, security and operations to approve or reject audit findings, track remediation of open issues, and create release notes for software projects
• Content Visualization – makes Software Composition Analysis visual, adding a whole new dimension to analysis of copyrights, exact file matches, source code fingerprints and similar evidence within software projects. Using content visualization organizations can easily assess the completeness of analysis, as well as examine outlier evidence that would be difficult to spot with text reports
• Upgraded Analyst User Interface – over 10 major usability improvements make the user interface for analyzing scan results more efficient and productive. Improvements include color coding of evidence results, improved side-by-side code comparison capability, and shortcuts for creation of software categories (groups).
• Dynamic Workflow- Enterprise Edition 5.0 workflow has new capability to route requests dynamically, and new APIs to allow Enterprise Edition to operate within existing workflow environments.
• Frequent, On-line Vulnerability Updates – to keep development teams up to date on the latest vulnerabilities reported for the open source components in use in their projects
"In the age of Web 2.0, with its extreme collaboration and mashup-style reuse, composition analysis will lower the risk that software components that enterprises use in their applications are insecure, or outdated, or not properly licensed”, said Joseph Feiman, Vice President and Gartner Fellow at Gartner. “Enterprises should be requesting from vendors a proven accuracy of software composition analysis (SCA), a transparent SCA integration into a Software Life Cycle, and the enablement of a rapid and user-friendly remediation.”
