[clug] Open Source Licensing

[George Bray]

I need to understand more about open source licensing options for an
application we want to release, so I'm wondering if CLUGers have any
recommendations for current learning material.

The following two books are 2004 era, has this world changed much in 5 years?

Understanding Open Source and Free Software Licensing
