About This Webinar:
While containers certainly simplify deploying software, fulfilling FOSS license obligations for containers is made difficult by their layered structure and the lack of compliance material in public repositories. Although every container is customized for its particular use and therefore comprises different software components, many are built on a base image that provides essential system components. It seems obvious to apply the Open Source principle of sharing development of non-differentiating technologies and services to license obligations of container base images. Therefore, OSADL offers the OSADL Base Images that are provided together with all required legal information and material needed to be distributed compliantly. A company may build their individual container images on top of the OSADL Docker Base Image and use the provided instructions to fulfill license obligations for the additional software to achieve license compliant container distribution. This presentation explained how the base images and in particular the license compliance material are created, list what flavors, versions and variants are available and show how they can be used to facilitate licensing of individual containers.
