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>
