FTF releases legal infrastructure guide for Free Software projects

den:

FSFE's Freedom Task Force (FTF) is pleased to announce the release of a guide to assist with establishing legal infrastructure for Free Software projects.

The guide gives tips on how Free Software projects can consolidate their legal position. It includes information about setting up legal entities, dealing with copyright issues, managing trademarks, and best practices for project management.

"When projects start to become successful, it's important for their members to consider what structures will scale successfully, be compatible with the founding principles, and protect the integrity of the project community", says Shane Coughlan, FTF Coordinator. "This guide provides a starting point for internal debate, and can help projects prepare a description of their requirements for consultation with experts."

"Every project is different, but all can benefit from ensuring they have a sound legal basis", explains Graeme West, FTF Intern. The guide was authored by FTF staff in consultation with members of the FTF European Legal Network. It is available as part of the newly redesigned FTF web site, where other guides on topics like licence compliance can also be found.

The guide can be found at this location.
