Carolina Oberhem, Contractual and Liability Issues in the Distribution of Open Source Software

Review by Justus Theis

After a detailed presentation of the technical and legal prerequisites of open source software that is also comprehensible to readers outside the field, this dissertation deals with the contractual classification of the acquisition of such software. In addition, Oberhem sheds light on questions of contractual and legal liability and subjects the General Public License (GPL) to a review of the general terms and conditions.
