1. The Rising Ethical Storm In Open Source – Coraline Ada Ehmke – CopyleftConf 2020
  
  The increased debate around ethical source threatens to divide the OSS community. In his book "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions", philosopher Thomas Kuhn posits that there are three possible solutions to a crisis like the one we're facing: assimilation, procrastination, or revolution. Which will we choose as we prepare for the hard work of reconciling ethics and open source?
2. Software Ethics and Copyleft Licensing panel – CopyleftConf 2020
  
  If we agree that software freedom is an ethical movement, then what are our responsibilities for the ethical issues that licenses don't currently cover? Karen will lead a friendly and constructive discussion to see if we can answer these questions. * What can we learn from or with the ethical licensing movement? * Feasability; Do we think ethical clauses are enforceable? How do we think that these new clauses would affect adoption? * What have we learned about enforceability and adoption of software licenses over the last 30 years? * Should we be designing licenses to support or complement strategies towards making computing more ethical? Karen leads this session with Coraline Ehmke and Don Goodman-Wilson.
