[svlug] FW: LIVE webinar: GPLv3 - Liberation or limitation?

Here is a webinar by the 451 group on the GPLv3 that I thought folks might
be interested in.  The 451 Group is research firm like Gartner or
Forrester that is well regarded for their open source research.

You are invited to participate in a webinar that will discuss a new report
by The 451 Group, 'GPLv3 - Liberation or limitation?,' which focuses on
the business and development opportunities and pitfalls presented by the
latest version of the GNU General Public License (GPL), the world's most
widely used open source license. 

GPLv3 is disrupting the enterprise open source industry and is the cause
of much debate and uncertainty among developers and vendors as to the
impact of the new license on existing projects and practices. This webinar
will review the new 451 report and highlight which classes of companies
are embracing GPLv3 and which are, wisely, avoiding it. 

The session will be led by Jay Lyman and Raven Zachary, analysts at The
451 Group, and will include a Q&A session.

*	Discussion of the business and development opportunities that
GPLv3 offers 
*	Analysis of which projects or vendors may look to adopt GPLv3.
