New on the CHAOSS Blog: What Happens to Relicensed Open Source Projects and Their Forks

[In the latest post on the CHAOSS blog][10], Dawn Foster shares research into what happens to open source projects and their forks when it undergoes a license change. She provides data-driven insight into several projects that have gone through this process, and what the implications might mean. This is a fascinating look into the relicensing impact on open source projects and communities, so you won’t want to miss this one.
