Fluendo Hosts its First Free Webinar Aimed at Understanding the Legal Implications of Linux Deployments

Online, May 10, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Fluendo is an established leading provider of multimedia plug-ins for the GNU/Linux Market, and has succeeded in offering legal end-to-end solutions working with multiple formats and platforms.

For the last few years, and especially in the current economic climate, many businesses are opting to use Linux to reduce their licensing and development costs. By doing this, they have realized that Linux offers other benefits aside from just cutting expenses: Linux users enjoy a robust, flexible and adaptable Operating System with a great choice of tools for productivity and business applications. As any other software, Linux deployments are subject to copyright, trademarks, patents, etc. This sometimes constitutes a real challenge, when it shouldn't be.

To shed some light on these matters, next May the 14th Fluendo will be hosting a free webinar featuring two recognized experts in Intellectual Property, Free and Open Source Software and Patent Licenses. They will discuss before European and American audiences some of the challenges that governments, enterprises, education, and all kinds of organizations face when decide to migrate to Linux.
