If you want to understand and speak the open source lingo fluently, then Meeker’s latest The Open (Source) for Business is your resource. It unassumingly starts by explaining the basics of software. Then, helpfully dives into open source basics and related intellectual property issues. And, before you know it, you will find yourself enjoying what Meeker does best: skillfully dissecting and organizing much more advanced open sources concepts and problems in the context of corporate merger and acquisitions, litigation, and government regulations. Don’t be surprised if you end up loving the book just a little too much (despite the notoriously unsexy subject matter)! Meeker’s well-written, practical, and approachable book is an opportunity to re-discover your nerdy virtues as you become proficient in open source concepts. At the end of this enjoyable ride, anticipating, navigating, and addressing open source issues will be one of many benefits obtained from reading this book.

The other mainstream books on the subject of Open Source and Licensing are a decade old. This new 2015 book not only covers subjects that have come up since then, but also new ways of thinking and the modern terminology.

Thanks to the ubiquity of open source software today, every technology lawyer will, at some point, have to understand the basics of open source licensing. This book is a great introduction and handy reference that provides both a high level introduction to how the most common open source licenses work, and also practical guidance for common open source issues (both legal and business). Sure, all this information can be found scattered about the web, but you want to pay both for the convenience of having it between two covers and for the expert curation provided by Ms. Meeker, who is among the most respected lawyers in the field.
