A panel discussion focused on exploring the challenges and opportunities in adapting open source licensing to the unique context of blockchain technology. Experts from legal, technological, and blockchain backgrounds come together to discuss how traditional open source licenses can be evolved or newly created to suit the decentralized, immutable, and often anonymous nature of blockchain projects. They address issues like intellectual property, contribution attribution, and the enforcement of license terms in a distributed ledger environment. The panel aims to bridge the gap between open source ethos and blockchain innovation, ensuring that developers can collaborate effectively while respecting the legal frameworks that govern software licensing.
