Introducing the website by Mark Webbink on legal aspects of Free Software (AKA "open source"), such as licensing, software patents, copyright of Free Software.
Mark has been doing great work with Red Hat and I worked with him during the long months of preparing the Microsoft case. He is incredibly knowledgeable about these matters and has a talent for writing about them. Nowadays Mark is in private practice and teaches at Duke University too. He is also member of the Board of the Software Freedom Law Center of my friend Eben Moglen (see the weblinks).
No doubt this is an important resource for all those searching information about legal aspect of Free Software. Don't miss it!
