The legal aspect of coding
Thursday Mar 20, 2008
An interesting aspect to coding that most of us don't think of. Can there be a legal aspect for coding? Certainly yes, says SaiSatish Vedam. Here is more on the topic, in his own words:
It is now imperative for us software engineers to understand that the lines between the tech code we write and the "legal code" (Intellectual Property) is blurred. Architectures created by the code we write embeds certain fundamental principles and values. Increasingly intrusive changes in the "legal code" and vice-versa are undermining these fundamental principles and changing the basic characteristic of architectures. The talk aims to provide this understanding using some real life stories. The talk attempts to make a case for open source software being a key factor in a present world where "code is law".
