9 For those like me who don't already know who these people are. As you can read
10 here [http://www.softwarefreedom.org/services/] under Non-profit Corporate
11 Assistance, they appear to be a spin-off of the Software Freedom Law Center
12 (SFLC) which was was launched in February 2005 with Eben Moglen, of GPLv3
13 fame, as Chairman:
14
15 "The SFLC helps FOSS projects develop and maintain legal status to help ensure
16 their longevity. The SFLC assists its clients with all stages of corporate
17 existence, including formation and tax exemption, and helps projects with
18 their contracts and governance. The SFLC established and continues to serve as
19 counsel to the Software Freedom Conservancy, which provides an alternative to
20 independent corporate formation for FOSS projects. The SFLC is also able to
21 represent its clients in negotiations."
