The Open Source Legal Landscape, by Brendan Scott (Groklaw)
Brendan Scott, who heads up Open Source Law, just gave an interesting talk, "The Open Source Legal Landscape," at LinuxWorld in Sydney on Wednesday, and he has given me permission to share it with you on Groklaw. I think you'll find it very helpful, particularly if you are a company thinking of using GPL'd or other FOSS code, or if you are involved in a project that is trying to decide how to license your project. If you prefer, you can download it as a PDF. He explains a number of things, including why you should not get your legal advice from your engineers."
