With intellectual property rights assuming greater importance in today’s world and licensing issues and developments constantly evolving, The Practical Guide to Software Licensing and Cloud Computing, 7th Edition is an essential resource. In this conversation, author H. Ward Classen discusses the new edition’s expanded discussion of cloud computing, how he tracks new developments, and the evolution of the book over nearly twenty years.
