Copyleft licenses like the GNU GPL come with a higher compliance burden than more permissive licenses, because they require licensees to provide source code to recipients -- sometimes just for the open source component, and sometimes for any derivative work produced by the licensee. These licenses therefore raise the thorniest issues of license compliance.     Episode show notes are available below.   ## [Open Source in Finance Podcast: FINOS Debrief 5 August 21](https://www.finos.org/blog/open-source-in-finance-podcast-finos-debrief-5-august-21) August 15, 2021 [Grizz Griswold](https://www.finos.org/blog/author/grizz-griswold) [Leave a comment](https://www.finos.org/blog/open-source-in-finance-podcast-finos-debrief-5-august-21#comments-listing) [![](https://www.finos.org/hubfs/finos-osinfinance.png)](https://www.finos.org/blog/open-source-in-finance-podcast-finos-debrief-5-august-21) In this episode of the podcast we're excited talk about recent and upcoming FINOS events, provide FINOS Community updates, and as always, look for ways for you to get involved with the FINOS Community.     Episode show notes are available below.   ## [Open Source in Finance Podcast: FINOS All Community Call & Update for Q3 2021](https://www.finos.org/blog/open-source-in-finance-podcast-finos-all-community-call-update-for-q3-2021) July 29, 2021 [Grizz Griswold](https://www.finos.org/blog/author/grizz-griswold) [Leave a comment](https://www.finos.org/blog/open-source-in-finance-podcast-finos-all-community-call-update-for-q3-2021#comments-listing) [![](https://www.finos.org/hubfs/finos-osinfinance.png)](https://www.finos.org/blog/open-source-in-finance-podcast-finos-all-community-call-update-for-q3-2021) On this episode of the podcast we give you a chance to listen to the FINOS All Community Call to get updates on Q2, and look forward to the rest of 2021.
