FWIW, I sent Martha some feedback on her CLE class linked to above in private email to her. I suspect that the material is a bit too basic for the folks on this list; most folks on this list probably know all the information presented there (e.g., just the very oversimplified basics of copyright law in the USA and Free Software licenses are presented), and/or it's not relevant to them (e.g., a lot of time is spent on USA corporate form, which is quite tangential to issues of Free Software licenses). Meanwhile, I am loathe to point out publicly, but I think I must since this link was posted publicly on this list, that there are some errors in this discussion, and specifically I'm concerned about errors regarding some details of Conservancy and Andersen vs. Best Buy et al. I suggest anyone who wants details on that case take a look at the docket: http://ia600409.us.archive.org/18/items/gov.uscourts.nysd.355978/gov.uscourts.nysd.355978.docket.html (BTW, I've been trying to fill in that docket slowly with RECAP: https://www.recapthelaw.org/ But PACER charges once you ask for too many documents in a given time period. So, I'd appreciate help from others who have PACER access to install the RECAP plugin as well.) -- -- bkuhn
