FOSS, AI and non-code artifacts - what’s new and noteworthy?
Dr. Lina Böcker, Angelika Wittek

FOSS licensing is not all about code, it is also about AI models, icons, fonts, documents, music, etc. This talk will lead you from FOSS to AI, considering potential licenses for (AI generated) non-code and the question whether code-licenses are suitable for non-code.
