Sharing Research Software with Open Source Licenses

Thu, Feb. 11, 2021 - 12:00 PM to Fri, Feb. 12, 2021 - 12:59 PM
via Zoom

Open source software development is increasingly common in many areas of academic work; however, researchers who write software must balance a host of disciplinary and institutional expectations to legally share their code. This workshop by Ana Enriquez and Seth Erickson, research data librarian for social sciences, provides an introduction to open source software licensing with particular focus on the needs of Penn State researchers. Topics include the importance of software licenses, common open source licenses used in scientific software projects, and recommendations for navigating relevant institutional policies.
