Welcome to my new Web site.  I hope you will bear with me while I do my best to turn this into a useful resource for those interested in open source software licensing.  I want this page to be a one-stop shop for the information I need to deal with open source licensing issues every day.  By making it the resource I want to use, I hope I will make it one you want to use, too.

For my clients and selected colleagues, I also have a resource that contains detailed information on open source projects and their licensing.  This is the database of information I use in my daily practice.  One of these days I hope to integrate that database with my web site, but baby steps first.

If you have suggestions or requests for resources to add to this page, please feel free to contact me.  (No death threats about software patents, please.)  I welcome questions -- other than "Why are you such a capitalist tool?" to which the answer is: because my mortgage holder wants it that way

 

And of course, I must include the lawyerly disclaimers.
