Local Tech Wire
takes a look at
the company Open Source Risk Management. "
The company hired Pamela
Jones, a para-legal who started a site called Groklaw, which Linux creator
Linus Torvalds called an "open source approach to law." The site enlisted
the aid of hundreds of volunteers to help research Linux legal issues. Some
of those volunteers include people who contributed to Unix development,
Jones has said. Salon notes that some have called Jones "the maintainer of
the Linux anti-lawsuit kernel." OSRM also recently appointed Linux pioneer
Bruce Perens to its board."
