In his former life, Harald was a Linux Kernel developer, primarily active in the netfilter/iptables subsystem. In 2004, he founded the gpl-violations.org project, which achieved considerable success in early GPL enforcement.
During the past 16 years, his main focus has shifted to the osmocom.org project, implementing Free and Open Source software in the area of mobile communications infrastructure. Since 2011, he runs a small related business called sysmocom from his home town Berlin, Germany.

The dark ages of GPL compliance 20 years ago
It's been 20 years since the first in-court enforcement of the GNU General Public License. This anniversary provides an occasion for a retrospective on what, how and why happened back then - both as a reminder to those who have been around, or as a history lesson to the younger generation.
In the early 2000s, the IT industry was already adopting Linux and other FOSS on a massive scale, but at the same time did not generally concern themselves a lot with license compliance. This in turn lead to a spike of enforcement activities.
During the last two decades, many improvements in compliance related awareness, processes and tooling have happened. Does this mean the license compliance question has been solved?
Open Source for eSIM integration
When integrating eSIMs into a Linux based embedded device, one of the questions is how to manage that eSIM. In case of SGP.21 consumer eSIM or the new SGP.31 IoT eSIM, some software component for management and download of eSIM profiles (LPA or IPA) is required. In the past, this was mostly achieved by proprietary software.
More recently, Free and Open Source Software alternatives for this have materialized, like the "lpac" software. This talk covers those projects, what you can do with them and how to integrate them in your cellular-enabled embedded device.
The talk will also compare this approach of eSIM integration with other approaches such as the venerable SGP.02 M2M eSIM or using an eUICC-integrated LPA/IPA (LPAe/IPAe).
