Donald K. Rosenberg assists software companies with licensing and business/marketing strategies at Stromian Technologies and wrote Open Source: The Unauthorized White Papers, (Wiley), a book taking a business approach to Open Source software, now on the Web at ftp://ftp.novell.com/pub/forge/documents/Open%20Source:%20The%20Unauthorize

According to Larry Rosen, 'One of the challenges to writing about licensing in a book not specifically written for licensing professionals is to make a very dull subject interesting.' Rosen has met that challenge in his exciting guide to the Open Source licensing zoo.
IT managers who are about to reach for the aspirin as they try to figure out their open source corporate position should grab this book with both hands instead. As the title suggests, it's pragmatic and deals in realism, not ideology.
