As a followup to a free software law summit hosted by Bruce Perens of HP
September, 2001, a mailing list to address issues of free software legal
issues has been created, fsl-discuss@lists.alt.org.

This list  satisfies an unmet  need within the free  software community.
While there  are discussions oriented toward specific  legal issues such
as the OSI's license-discuss submissions review list, Free-Sklyarov list
and DVD-discuss, and there are general discussions for free software and
free software business, there is  no discussion that focusses on general
legal aspects of free software.

So we've created fsl-discuss.

The list charter is:  Legal issues concerning free software.

This includes: licensing  (in a general sense, specific  issues of, say,
OSI certification  should be directed to the  OSI license-discuss list),
patent, trademark,  legislation, standards, international  treaties, and
other aspects of law.  The list is intended for general discussion.

List moderator and hosts are Karsten M. Self and Drew Streib.

Karsten is a long-time active  member of the free software and GNU/Linux
communities,  who's  been  involved  in  numerous  discussions,  panels,
publications, and presentations of legal issues.

Drew is a  cofounder of SourceForge.net, a member  of the Free Standards
Group  (http://www.freestandards.org/), Linux  International,  and other
organizations and activities.

Thanks to Drew for providing hosting services for FSL-Discuss.

Thank you.
