Legal Summits to Tackle Linux

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the open-to-suggestions dept.

An anonymous reader writes "BuilderAU has the story that the Linux Foundation, custodians of the Linux trademark, have announced that they will host two summits to deal with legal issues surrounding Linux and open-source software. Attendance at the first summit will be restricted to members of the Linux Foundation and their legal counsel. The second summit — an open meeting — will be held in Autumn 2008 where legal experts from any background will be able to attend."

    Perhaps the idiot who modded the parent troll would care to explain his views? As an AC if he wants to preserve his mod points? When we hear Linux, we think of RedHat, Mandrivia, the LAMP stack etc. Not HP, not Novell, not Google. These companies would do their utmost to ensure Linux and PCs remained non-free. I was not trolling.
