About

Ever wondered who really “owns” open-source code? This talk dives into how copyright works for software, why we can’t patent code, and what “ownership” means when everyone can contribute. We’ll look at real cases like LinkedIn vs HiQ and see how these ideas play out under Indian law. Plus, we’ll talk about GitHub, licensing, and what all this means for students and developers who share or use open-source projects.
