 Legal Summit for Software Freedom 2007

    The Software Freedom Law Center will host the first Annual Legal Summit
    for Software Freedom this fall. The Summit will have two parts: a
    closed session in the morning for a private meeting of the world's
    foremost FOSS attorneys, and an open session in the afternoon
    consisting of free legal presentations to the public.

    The Summit will be held Friday, October 12, at Columbia Law School in
    New York. The public portion will begin at 2:00 pm and include legal
    presentations by Eben Moglen, Dan Ravicher, Richard Fontana, James
    Vasile, Karen Sandler and Matt Norwood, each of whom are attorneys at
    SFLC. Topics to be covered include licensing, copyright, patents and
    trademarks, as well as corporate issues related to Software Freedom.
    Continuing Legal Education credit for New York is being sought.

    The Summit is free, but pre-registration is requested for the public
    session.
