In response to requests during the FOSDEM Legal and Policy
DevRoom, which is coordinated by a team of four that includes
Conservancy's own Bradley M. Kuhn and Karen M. Sandler, Conservancy
will organize a separate conference on the day following FOSDEM 2020,
in Brussels, Belgium, called: The Annual International Copyleft
Conference, or CopyleftConf for short.

Participants from throughout the copyleft world — developers,
strategists, enforcement organizations, scholars and critics — will be
welcomed for an in-depth, high bandwidth, and expert-level discussion
about the day-to-day details of using copyleft licensing, obstacles
facing copyleft and the future of copyleft as a strategy to advance and
defend software freedom for users and developers around the world.

The event will provide a friendly and safe place for discussion of copyleft
as a key strategy for defending software freedom. Our program committee
(Jonathan Corbet, Molly de Blanc, Bradley Kuhn, Deb Nicholson, Nithya Ruff,
Josh Simmons, Eilís Flanagan, and Harald Welte) is dedicated to putting on a
lively and informative event where everyone feels welcome.

Conservancy encourages everyone to save the date of Monday 3 February
2020 in Brussels, Belgium for this second CopyleftConf. We've chosen the
date and location to ease travel for those already attending FOSDEM the
weekend preceding CopyleftConf.
