Source Code Open Source Licensing

Software Expert Witness and IP Litigation Consulting

Source code open source licensing and code cases involve highly material and highly valuable ownership or right to use issues that are extremely difficult and complex to sort through. They involve in depth understanding and analysis of the underling source code.

Eureka has handled these types of situations as a source code expert witness and is well positioned to offer similar services to those who are experiencing open source related issues.
