Publication: Managing Copyright and Licensing Information in Software Projects: Streamlining Specifications and Standards for the Next Generation Internet
Dr. Lasota co-authored a paper on specifications for communicating copyright and license information for software projects. As a study case, this paper focuses on how a compliance workflow was proposed to the Next Generation Internet (NGI), an European Commission initiative for Europe’s digital transformation. The paper illustrates the workflow proposed for software projects covered by the NGI, covering topics such as compliance processes, code release, guidelines for external contribution, and baseline requirements for contracts and trademarks. In particular, the article refers to the “REUSE Software”, a set of best practices for declaring copyright and licensing in an unambiguous, human- and machine-readable way.
