Hello,
I recieved this from the FSF and I am seriously considering attending.
I think it would be wise for members of our community to also consider
attending.
Note that yearly dues for corporate patronage of the FSF are $500 for a
company with fewer than 5 employees. Patronage comes with two free seats
to this seminar.
Thanks,
Fred Trotter

> Dear Fred,
>
> I am writing to inform you about two upcoming seminars on Free
> Software Licensing and the GNU GPL being hosted by the Free Software
> Foundation (FSF) at Columbia Law School in New York on January 20 and
> 21,2004.
>
> These two days will provide a detailed study and analysis of the GPL,
> review some case studies, and look at legal ethics in Free Software
> Licensing. The seminars will be co-led by Daniel Ravicher, Senior
> Counsel to FSF, and Bradley M. Kuhn, Executive Director of FSF.
>
> "Detailed Study and Analysis of GPL and LGPL" on January 20, will give a
> section-by-section explanation of the most popular Free Software
> copyright license, the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL), and will
> educate lawyers, software developers, managers and business people on
> how to use the GPL (and GPL'd software) successfully in a new Free
> Software business and in existing, successful enterprises.
>
> On January 21, FSF will offer "GPL Compliance Case Studies and Legal
> Ethics in Free Software Licensing". This seminar will present five case
> studies handled by FSF's GPL Compliance Lab. This course also includes a
> unit on the ethical considerations for attorneys who want to represent
> clients that make use of or sell Free Software products. The
> prerequisite for attending this seminar is that attendees should have
> successfully completed the "Detailed Study and Analysis of GPL and LGPL"
> offered on January 20 (as the material from that course forms the
> building blocks for this material), or have attended a previous Free
> Software Licensing and the GNU GPL Seminar.
>
> Please find attached more details about the seminars. I would be most
> grateful if you would pass this information on to others who might be
> interested in attending.
