# IANAL
<cite>IANAL</cite>
# My Affiliations
+ Formerly had John's job, Executive Director of FSF, years ago.
+ Currently: on Board of Directors of FSF.
+ President of Software Freedom Conservancy.
# How These Orgs Relate to GPL?
+ FSF
+ Invented copyleft.
+ Authors & stewards of the GPL.
+ Holder of copyrights on many key GNU programs …
+ … and therefore enforcers of those copyrights.
+ Software Freedom Conservancy
+ Adviser on legal issues of copyright, etc. to Free Software projects.
+ Holder of some copyrights on its member projects.
+ Enforcer of GPL on behalf of many copyright holders in:
+ BusyBox, Samba, Mercurial, and the kernel named Linux.
# How this Hour Will Go?
+ Materials presented will mix the simple & complex.
+ We cannot possible cover the entire GPL in one hour.
+ Discuss: motivations, origins, then a few of GPL's sections.
+ I understand the mix of backgrounds in the audience.
# A Restaurant's Lawyer?
+ Considering why you want to learn this.
+ What if your client was a restaurant?
+ What would you want to need to know?
# Restaurant Lawyer: What'd You Study?
+ If you were a restaurant's lawyer:
+ Probably three areas of law you'd focus on:
+ building codes.
+ health and safety regulations.
+ tax regulations.
+ Who would want to hear from?
# Restaurant Lawyer: What'd You Study?
+ Figure out the motivations behind the building code:
+ What parts are arcane and less important to inspectors?
+ How do inspections work?
+ What are the penalties?
+ Figure out the same for health & safety:
+ Who inspects, and when?
+ What's the health code say, and what checklist do inspectors use?
+ Is there any way the two interrelate?
+ Who is in charge of all this?
+ What was the purpose and intent of these regulations?
# Why Listen To Us?
+ FSF: Understanding the purpose and intent of the GPL.
+ Conservancy & FSF:
+ both enforce the GPL.
+ if your client violates, you will hear from us.
