Tasks of a Free Software Legal Department

Posted by Soulskill on from the right-ways-and-wrong-ways dept.

H4x0r Jim Duggan writes "For anyone curious about what the legal department in a free software organisation does, I spent some time with my co-worker in FSFE and have put a summary online with the status of the main projects: developing a legal network, producing documentation, GPL enforcement, copyright consolidation, and training courses."

    However I am sure they only do GPL enforcement if you sign over your rights to the FSF.

    Don't assume they do this for poor Joe up against the big man, they want something in return, which happens to be your rights on the work.
