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."
