Hi John, |
8 |
|
9 |
Wendy Seltzer passed on your request for assistance to the EFF cooperating |
10 |
attorneys list, and we found several attorneys who are available and |
11 |
interested in providing the Gentoo Foundation with legal advice. |
12 |
|
13 |
We got positive responses from two attorneys, a law clinic, and one |
14 |
additional attorney who has relevant experience and is willing to help |
15 |
out. I have pasted the contact information for each of the respondants |
16 |
below. It is up to you to contact and select the attorney. |
17 |
|
18 |
[Redacted] is "very interested." |

"The American University IP law clinic may be able to help with this--do |
25 |
you have any more information on this -such as time frames etc.?" |

"I'm doing the same sort of thing for Apache these days. I don't have time |
29 |
to take on someone else, but if you get a volunteer, I'd be interested in |
30 |
sharing ideas/working with them (unofficially)." |
31 |
|
32 |
Good luck, and please keep us updated on how this works out. |
33 |
|

Sincerely, |
