Software Licence Management helps software teams address IPR and licensing issues. The Software Management Team in WP9 Task 2 has interacted with many GÉANT software development teams to assess their licensing situation and decisions. Based on these interactions, we have produced a whitepaper for GÉANT participants and a general guide on OSS licences and licence selection. These recommendations aim to support reliable and effective management of IPR, in line with the GÉANT IPR Policy.

Our goal is to help GÉANT software teams implement robust processes for managing licences and dependencies.
