In this video, you can find the Percona Live 2021, keynotes for Day 1, May 12nd, 2021. Peter Zaitsev, Percona CEO presents, The Changing Face of Open Source Database Software Adoption. How the Market Changed in the Last 12 Months. In this wide-ranging state of the market keynote, Peter will be discussing a range of recent themes and developments. These include: 1) the overall growth of open source and how this might have been impacted by Covid-19. 2) The role of the public cloud – is this be good or bad for open source? 3) The top reasons companies choose OpenSource software. 4) Whether licensing changes could change the direction of open source software. 5) Why your company should be actively contributing to open source. Amand Brock from OpenUK presents, Driving Open Source Forward in a Commercial Environment – The Challenges and Opportunities for Open Source Software. Amanda will go through her extensive research in the business of open source, the commercial and revenue models in open source, and her personal experience of over a decade working around open source and legal discussions. She will look at the events of the last decade of open source commercialization and cover the future of a healthy open source ecosystem. Amanda is a chapter author and the editor of the forthcoming book “Open Source, law, policy and practice” to be published by Oxford University Press in October. The contents will also be available under Open Access thanks to the sponsorship of the Vietsch Foundation. Luis Villa from Tidelift present, Licenses: Ethical Framework, Business Model, Neither, Both? Almost 25 years ago, the “open for business” and “free as in freedom” software camps split apart. Since then, the two groups have used largely identical copyright licenses to reach largely divergent ethical and business goals. That tension has ebbed and flowed ever since and has now reached a recent peak with two new groups of licenses that break the old rules, trying to encourage investment—or protect human rights. In this talk, we’ll review the history of these conflicts, and give the audience some tools to help understand what these new licenses mean for our industry and our future.
