Another good source of advice

The attorneys consulted for this article, <A HREF="http://www.pubpat.org/Board.htm" title="pubpat.org">Dan Ravicher</a pubpat.org> and <A HREF="http://rosenlaw.com/rosen.htm" title="rosenlaw.com">Larry Rosen</a rosenlaw.com>, are among the top legal experts on Open Source Licensing issues.



I thought I would inform NewsForge editors and readers of two other sources of great legal insight on these topics. The first is <A HREF="http://www.gtlaw.com/biographies/biography.asp?id=5523" title="gtlaw.com">Heather Meeker</a gtlaw.com>, an attorney with <A HREF="http://www.gtlaw.com/contact/offices/sv.asp" title="gtlaw.com">Greenberg Traurig in Silicon Valley</a gtlaw.com>. She is Co-Chair of the Open Source Committee of the ABA (American Bar Assoc.) Section of Science and Technology Law and advises companies on open source licensing issues. She also gives talks on open source licensing issues, including one in the Spring of 2004 at the <A HREF="http://www.osbc2004.com/" title="osbc2004.com">Open Source Business Conference</a osbc2004.com> in San Francisco.



Another leading expert in this area is <A HREF="http://townsend.com/attorneys/biodetails.asp?o=3278" title="townsend.com">Phil Albert</a townsend.com>, an attorney with <A HREF="http://townsend.com/offices/officedetails.asp?office=san+francisco" title="townsend.com">Townsend and Townsend and Crew in San Francisco</a townsend.com>. He writes <A HREF="http://linuxinsider.com/story/37078.html" title="linuxinsider.com">a weekly column</a linuxinsider.com> for <A HREF="http://www.linuxinsider.com/" title="linuxinsider.com">linuxinsider.com</a linuxinsider.com> that almost always touches on open source licensing issues.



Everybody says don't proceed through these hairy issues without a knowledgable attorney; well, here's two more in addition to those quoted in the article that could provide that competent and valuable advice.
