Z:gnu-www-ja-sco without fear--65a204-On January 20, Professor Mogle/en

On January 20, Professor Moglen will describe the legal history of the free software movement from its beginnings in the mind of Richard Stallman to its current industry-transforming prominence. His talk will show how the GNU GPL and other legal measures invented by FSF proved to be strong enough to bring IBM, HP and other giants of the IT industry to a full appreciation of free software's technical and commercial value. He will then outline the threat SCO's lawsuit against IBM poses to the legal infrastructure of free software.
