[$] Protecting the open-source license commons

Richard Fontana has a long history working with open-source licenses in
commercial environments. He came to the 2018
Open Source Summit Europe with a talk that, he said, had never before
been presented outside of 'secret assemblies of lawyers'; it gave an
interesting view of licenses as resources that are shared within the
community and the risks that this shared nature may present. While our
licenses have many good properties, including a de facto
standardization role, those properties come with some unique and increasing
risks when it comes to litigation.
