Mionsonraí an chúrsa

This course will provide a background to the European Union Public Licence (EUPL) and the value it can add to interoperable public services. It will provide a recap on the nature and history of the European Union Public Licence: why the EUPL was created, the additional provisions and features that make the EUPL specific and the EUPL scope in relation to how software can be distributed. It will also examine how some of the key concepts of open licensing, such as Reciprocity, Interoperability and Compatibility relate to the framework of the EUPL. The course will end with a quiz to assess your knowledge, followed by a certificate of completion.
