Those are links of interest to debian-legal archive, you can have a look at DroitFrancais [fr] and CommunicationLibre [en] (hardware-firm oriented) or DroitDesMarquesLinux [fr]

I do not read everything (nor even understand everything I read !) and I sometimes think that this ML debian-legal is turning my inbox to junk (it's quite verbose !).
Beware, some terms have to be well understood before grasping the meaning of thoses threads (which sometimes include trolls) whether it is legal or about debian social contract.
Particularly, seek definitions for free / contrib / non-free which correspond to Debian packages categories

To Do : search for URL, sort in categories (trademark, license compatibility, binary blobs...)























Some professional constraints

When working on free software, NDA and default attribution of copyright to the employee's firm are a plague that has to be cured...
http://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/nopanicing
there's another one describing the agreement to obtain by the employee from the firm to retain his/her copyright
