Laravel Poland MeetUp #21: HTTP Request Lifecycle

Did you know that the Witelon State University in Legnica (formerly the Witelon State University of Applied Sciences in Legnica) publishes its own bulletin? We already know and they even write about us! In the latest issue, you will read, among other things, about our cooperation with the University.

Our commitment to education
As part of the improvement of the Computer Science and Production and Logistics Engineering courses conducted at the Faculty of Technical and Economic Sciences, in the current winter semester 2021/22, our employees conduct classes in:

• Programming project management, where they present a practical approach to project management, which they teach students, preparing them for real challenges in the IT industry.
• Object-oriented programming - key concepts and techniques of object-oriented programming, which are the basis of modern software development.
• Databases - theory and practice of database management, which are an indispensable element of every larger IT project.
• Mobile device programming - creating applications for mobile devices, which is extremely important in the era of ubiquitous smartphones and tablets.
• Computer networks and others - the basics and advanced aspects of computer networks, which are the backbone of modern IT systems.

It is an extraordinary experience for us to be able to lead young people towards a path that we ourselves have also been on. We hope that our cooperation with the University will last as long as possible, and that joint activities will contribute to improving the quality of education and preparing students for work in the dynamically developing IT industry.

Programmers are usually generally aware of how the MIT license works. What should we do when we start including more libraries in our project, and each of them has a different license? Can we make money on such programs? Do we have to add the names of the creators of the dependencies used? Are we at risk of legal liability?

Joanna Rewak from the Legal Adviser's Office Joanna Rewak, a lawyer at Blumilk, will dispel any doubts about open source licenses using the Laravel framework and its popular dependencies as an example during Laravel Poland Meetup #22, on May 19, at 6:00 PM

Joanna will discuss the steps that need to be taken to ensure license compliance and avoid legal problems:

• MIT License - using the MIT license and what are its limitations.
• License diversity - How to deal with projects containing libraries with different licenses, such as GPL, Apache, BSD, and others.
• Software commercialization - Can we make money on programs containing open source software and what conditions do we have to meet?
• Copyright - When and how do we need to acknowledge the authors of dependencies used in our projects?
• Legal risk - What are the potential consequences of violating open source licenses and how to avoid them?

See you on May 19, at 6:00 PM online or in person, in our office in Legnica.
