Research Paper: Open Source License Inconsistencies on GitHub
Abstract: Almost all software, open or closed, builds on open source software and therefore needs to comply with the license obligations of the open source code. Not knowing which licenses to comply with poses a legal danger to anyone using open source software. This article investigates the extent of inconsistencies between licenses declared by an […]

Final Thesis: Systematic Literature Review: Challenges of Open-Source Software Distributions
Abstract: Open-source software (OSS) is one of the most debated phenomena in the software industry today, both theoretically and empirically. OSS allows users to modify, copy, distribute, and improve the software for any given purpose. It is a method of sharing software through source code and open-source licenses. It requires a high level of responsibility, […]

Final Thesis: Development of a Plugin Architecture with Docker Containers
Abstract: Software licenses play a critical role when developing applications containing open source dependencies. To avoid legal risks, a proper management of these dependencies is necessary and with an increasing number of third-party dependencies in commercial products, license compliance becomes very difficult. Product Model Toolkit helps combining multiple license relevant information into one unified model […]Abstract: Software licenses play a critical role when developing applications containing open source dependencies.

Final Thesis: Product Architecture Modeling with PostgreSQL and GraphQL
Abstract: In today’s software development, Free / Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) is becoming more and more common used. The management of complex dependencies between the open source components used is an essential part of this. Without such management, license compliance will be impossible, export restrictions will not be upheld, and security vulnerabilities will […]

Final Thesis: A Model of Open Source Licenses
Abstract: An open source license specifies all rights granted and obligations imposed to the user of the open source software. However, researcher and practitioners are faced with a large diversity of open source licenses. This can lead to a lot time and effort spent on examining the different licenses. Mistakes can lead to legal consequences. […]

Doctoral Thesis: Retaining and Managing Episodic Contributors in Free/Libre/Open Source Software Communities (Dr. Ann Barcomb)
Abstract: Free/libre/open source software (FLOSS) communities are commonly understood according to the Onion model. This thesis presents an alternative approach of understanding participation, the habitualepisodic lens drawn from the general volunteering literature. Episodic volunteering (EV) is an alternative way of understanding the periphery of the Onion model which takes into consideration recent developments in FLOSS […]Abstract: Free/libre/open source software (FLOSS) communities are commonly understood according to the Onion model.
