\begin{abstract}
This one-day course presents the details of five different GPL compliance
cases handled by FSF's GPL Compliance Laboratory. Each case offers unique
insights into problems that can arise when the terms of GPL are not
properly followed, and how diplomatic negotiation between the violator and
the copyright holder can yield positive results for both parties.
This course also includes a unit on the ethical considerations for
attorneys who want to represent clients that make use of or sell Free
Software products.
Attendees should have successfully completely the course, a ``Detailed
Study and Analysis of GPL and LGPL'', as the material from that course
forms the building blocks for this material.
The course is of most interest to lawyers who have clients or employers
that deal with Free Software on a regular basis. However, technical
managers and executives whose businesses use or distribute Free Software
will also find the course very helpful.
