  However, Conservancy can accommodate the needs of projects that want
 
  their assets under the control of a not-for-profit entity and exercised
 
  only for the public good.</p>
 

	
 
<h2>Contract Negotiation and Execution</h2>
 

	
 
<p>Projects sometimes need to negotiate and execute a contract with a
 
  company.  For example, when a project wants to organize and run a
 
  conference, the venue usually has a complicated contract for rental of
 
  the space and services.  Conservancy assists projects in the negotiation
 
  of such contracts, and can sign them on behalf of the project.</p>
 

	
 
<h2>Basic Legal Advice and Services</h2>
 

	
 
<p>Since projects, upon joining, become organizationally part of
 
  Conservancy, Conservancy can provide basic legal services to its member
 
  projects through Conservancy's own General Counsel, outside counsel, and
 
  pro-bono attorneys.  For example, Conservancy assists its projects in
 
  handling issues related to trademark registration, trademark policy
 
  development and licensing, trademark enforcement, copyright licensing
 
  and enforcement, and non-profit governance questions and issues.</p>
 

	
 
<h2>FLOSS Copyright License Enforcement</h2>
 

	
 
<p>Complying with FLOSS licenses is easy, as they permit and encourage
 
  both non-commercial and commercial distribution and improvements.
 
  Nevertheless, violations of FLOSS licenses (in particular of
 
  the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html">GPL</a>
 
  and <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html">LGPL</a>) are all
 
  too common.  At request of the project's leaders, Conservancy can carry
 
  out license enforcement activity on behalf of the project's copyright
 
  holders.</p>
