SFLC's Legal Guide On Free Software

Posted by kdawson on from the law-for-the-rest-of-us dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Last week the Software Freedom Law Center published A Legal Issues Primer for Open Source and Free Software Projects. The primer, written for developers, has sections on copyrights, trademarks, patents, and organizational structure. Linux-Watch has reviewed the guide, saying 'I think any open-source developer or open-source group administrator must read this paper.'"

    I think any open-source developer or open-source group administrator must read this paper. Don't worry, we weren't going to anyways.
