How To Talk To Your Lawyer about Open Source - Jimmy Ahlberg, Ericsson
This talk explores best practices for collaborating effectively with legal departments and external counsel on Open Source software, Open Source licensing and compliance. Drawing on real-world experiences from the speaker's Open Source journey, it emphasizes transforming legal teams from perceived obstacles into strategic partners. Attendees will learn how to bridge cultural and communication gaps between developers and lawyers, align motivations, and foster a shared understanding to manage risk and boost efficiency. The session highlights practical tools like OpenChain (ISO/IEC 5230:2020) to facilitate education and guidance.

A successful partnership approach helps avoid mixed messages and supports sustainable Open Source engagement within companies.
