When is Free not Free: The True Costs of Open Source

November 18, 2017 By GISuser

When something goes wrong in your software, you fix it. When something is wrong in an OSS package you’re beholden to community fixes and web search – neither cares about your needs or your timeline.

2017-11-18 06_05_52-When is Free not Free_ The True Costs of Open Source, Free Rogue Wave Software _

In this webinar, our director of product management and OSS expert, Richard Sherrard, examines:

  • How to know exactly what packages are used in your company
  • Specific technical, security, and licensing hurdles that many organizations face
  • What “free” actually means when it comes to OSS
