Review Advised Regarding Open Source Indemnification

"According to The Yankee Group, companies should be viewing indemnification like consumers view their automobile or homeowner's insurance policies.

With open source and Linux gaining more ground in the market, indemnification has become crucial to businesses, and The Yankee Group is advising organizations to review the terms and conditions of their licensing contracts with legal counsel to determine if they have adequate coverage for indemnification.

Businesses without indemnification coverage could be the target of intellectual property lawsuits, and they would have to defend themselves with their money, resources and time."
