Abstract

Legislation is constantly affecting the way in which software developers can create software systems, and deliver them to their users. This raises the need for methods and tools that support developers in the creation and re-distribution of software systems with the ability of properly coping with legal constraints. We conjecture that legal constraints are another dimension software analysts, architects and developers have to consider, making them an important area of future research in software engineering.
