There have been a couple of big announcements today in the Open Source world. To start with Eben Moglen, counsel for the Free Software Foundation, has agreed to help run the new Software Freedom Law Center. The Center will offer free legal services, including asset stewardship, licensing, license defense and litigation support, and legal consulting and lawyer training, to the Free and Open Source community.
Also announced today, there will be a restructuring at the Open Source Initiative and Eric Raymond will step down from the position of president. We’ll just have to wait and see what effects this has.
