As for the legal implications of open source vs. proprietary licencing, I'm no expert on this stuff (unlike you guys I'm sure), but I looked at some of the issues surrounding OS for my GIS MSc last year, and there was an interesting paper in <a href="http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?isNumber=28149&arNumber=1259227&isnumber=28149&arnumber=1259227" rel="nofollow">IEEE Software vol.21(1)</a> looking at how to manage the legal aspects of "Using open source software in product development: a primer" by Ruffin and Ebert, based on their experience of using OS at Alcatel. And you can get free access to Andrew St Laurent's book <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/osfreesoft/book/" rel="nofollow">"Understanding Open Source and Free Software Licensing"</a> under the Creative Commons licence at http://oreilly.com/catalog/osfreesoft/book/. Open source books on using open source software, how post-modern is that? Thanks for the links to Paul’s rants.
