Linux Foundation adds legal eagles (Linux-Watch)

Linux-Watch
reports that
the Linux Foundation (LF) has hired two attorneys. "
Once upon a
time, the only thing Linux needed was great coders. That was a long time
ago. Today, Linux needs excellent lawyers as well to navigate the 21st
century's increasingly lawsuit-happy IT world. To address that concern, the
LF (Linux Foundation) has added two top attorneys to its ranks. Last week,
at LinuxWorld in San Francisco, LF, the nonprofit organization dedicated to
accelerating the growth of Linux, announced that open-source licensing
expert Karen Copenhaver and standards and consortium expert Andy Updegrove
have joined the Foundation's legal team to provide leadership on legal
issues affecting Linux."
