Welcome to and overview of the seventh year of the Legal and Policy Issues devroom

The media present the GDPR on a daily basis in volumes no one has expected. The whole commercial sector is hyped with articles about the GDPR, recommendations, warnings and in the end MYTHS! The GDPR is not only multinational corporations’ concern any more. Individuals and small entrepreneurs are looking for the answers too. This makes space for speculations and many partial solutions are offered in a form of a GDPR project draft templates or migration of processing into the new safe environment without appropriate paperwork. Even software solutions usually offer only partial safety measures and you will need a bunch of them to fulfill the GDPR project.A complete solution exists only as cooperation of legal person analyzing interpretation of EU legislative and IT technician able to incorporate those requirements into daily operations. The complete solution still does not mean 100% compliance because there are so many threats you can never be utterly safe from.This presentation will tell what you must not omit to be compliant, how to give effects to the rights of data subjects and how to craft your GDPR solution. We will discuss lawful basis for data processing, consent requirements and tools able to manage them effectively. In the end, we may think about the design of identity management tool that combines the advantages of identity management into one solution dealing with various GDPR issues.Included GDPR areas in light of Identity management: Lawful basis and consent management, risk assessment, data breach tool, DPO’s control tool and data subject’s rights control tool.

Artificial intelligence development particularly raises problems due to the nature of machine learning and the obvious differences between the memory process of humans and AI systems. The law does not have an answer apart from the general ruling of the right to be forgotten, lacking a particular focus on the context of AI nature and applicability. How does an analysis of the current legislation look like and also what can one implement de lege ferenda in order to assure the required attention to the AI context?

Due to the different licenses with their requirements and restrictions as well as the resultant license compatibility issues, scientists and engineers must be aware of these issues. Ideally, they have some basic understanding about Open Source licensing. Unfortunately, in practice this understanding is not present, especially if more than one Open Source license is involved. But how do you teach scientists and engineers knowledge about open source licenses?

We will take on the evergreen question "it is a license or a contract," describing how their respective system distinguishes the two.

Different offices and departments will often have differences inthe ways they are managing using, contributing to, and releasing freeand open source software.

We also know people make mistakes in the process, or don't even try because they've heard it's "too complicated." Just like with software, we would do well to study these failures and use them as opportunities to improve the usability of our licenses. This talk aims to start that process by identifying known problems and considering some possible solutions.

After the initial collection and packaging of the CCSC, its provision imposes a burden that may persist for a very long time. Ensuring that the CCSC is always available is not a simple matter, especially considering that the original development team might change structure, people might be replaced or change roles, legal entities may disappear, etc.
In this talk we will present the possibility of using Software Heritage, an independent, non-profit third party, in order to outsource CCSC provision. As part of the exploration, we will review the legal obligations in popular copyleft licenses, explain the burden of long-term CCSC hosting, describe the hosting infrastructure in place, and propose a publishing workflow that might help FOSS producers painlessly comply with the licenses.

While this carries its own legal questions, wanting children to be creative and maybe contribute to technology is a really difficult topic. Licences, hosting terms of service, contributor agreements - all these legal documents are made by adults, for adults, and minors often struggle to be able to agree them, even with parental consent. We want to look at what the issues are and raise awareness for the importance of contributions by children.

DESCRIPTION:There's a lot of pressure from the US (and some of it's allies) to "harmonize" with American ideas about patents and copyrights. The response by different nations has been wildly different -- some have chosen to play along while others have chosen to resist. What makes sense for one country won't make sense for another and it's all in the details. This talk examines existing legal patterns, the state of local economies and varying trade relationships in an effort to survey what kinds of resistance are possible or effective.

Then, after all thework put into these decisions, the result is hidden away, only to beseen or become relevant in the event of some legal challenge orinsider decision. Licensing information is by and large notsufficiently communicated to end users, even though we are trying tobuild a movement of users who prefer freely licensed software.

However, under the Italian Digital Administration Code, we already have a provision (amended in 2016) which seems to have similar effects. We tried to use it as a legal hack to make available the source code of publicly financed whistleblowing software.

DESCRIPTION:My talk will briefly review the major open data licenses including the differences between them and their interaction with free software licenses. Particular emphasis will be placed on thier application to databases.
There are only a few popular open data licenses with a focus on open database licensing, but there is very little guidance on the differences between them. This talk will explain the differences between them, why they exist, and when you might prefer one over the other. I will also discuss sui generis database right, why it exists and how is it different than the traditional copyrights.

This will include the growth of AGPL, the reciprocal scope of the GPL, and what stacks copyleft has been most successful in. We'll then use the data to inform a look at theory and discuss where copyleft might be going: where is copyleft's success? where and how is that relevant in the modern software landscape? what directions might future copyleft licenses take?

They contain executable instructions as well as static, visual data. They are binary files that, even when "open", are often shipped without source code. They are sensitive to namespace collision problems but are only exposed in user interfaces by name. The files themselves are governed by copyright, but the design they encode is not considered copyrightable in the US and other jurisdictions. Furthermore, the typemaking industry has long vacillated on the appropriateness of reviving, reusing, and extending earlier works as new designs. This talk provides an overview of the intellectual-property law and the community norms that concern sharing, reusing, and extending typeface designs. It will help developers navigate the intellectual-property and license-compliance issues they may encounter when using and redistributing free-software and open-source fonts.
