Dear FSIJ,

I am president of Associazione Software Libero
(http://softwarelibero.it/) from Italy, and I am also a researcher
(http://fly.cnuce.cnr.it/). 

I am making an investigation trying to find evidence of official
policies in research institutes around the world about licenses of
programs released as part of research work.  

The results of this investigation will be used to back political
pressure in my research institute, and then in other research institutes
in Italy and elsewhere, to adopt a formal policy that encourages
researchers to use a free software policy for research work.

Specifically, do you know of any institutions in France or elsewhere
that have a formal policy about what licenses should be used when
software produced in research projects is publicly released?

Do you know of any person whom I could ask?

Could you please make an investigation among people you know?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
