<title>FSFE - News - FSFE announces the first European Licensing and Legal Workshop for Free Software</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>FSFE announces the first European Licensing and Legal Workshop for Free Software</h1>
<p>FSFE's Freedom Task Force today announces the first European Licensing and
Legal Workshop for Free Software will be held on Friday the 11th of April in
Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The venue for this meeting is the
InterContinental Amstel Hotel.</p>
<p>The event is targeted towards large projects and medium to large enterprises
wishing to discuss their existing licence compliance processes. Parties
attending are expected to contribute to issues ranging from process
development through to optimising purchasing contract language for the
benefit of the European Free Software community.</p>
<p>Harald Welte and Armijn Hemel will be attending to represent
gpl-violations.org, and Dr. Till Jaeger will deliver a talk on licence
enforcement. Ciaran O'Riordan (FSFE Brussels and patent issue
representative), Shane Coughlan (FSFE legal coordinator) and Marko Milenovic
(FTF team member) will represent FSFE.</p>
<p>This workshop has limited space available and therefore attendance is by
invitation only. Projects and companies interested in attending this event
should contact the FTF at ftf at fsfeurope.org.</p>
<p>The European Licensing and Legal Workshop for Free Software is one of the
activities of FSFE's Freedom Task Force, also known as the FTF. The FTF is an
infrastructure project that can help individuals, projects and businesses
understand Free Software licensing and the opportunities that it presents. The
FTF works in partnership with gpl-violations.org to deal with licence
violations in the European arena.</p>
<p>The FTF undertakes several activities, ranging from the operation of a
European Legal and Technical Network which currently covers sixteen European
countries and with contacts around the world through to delivering training
and consultancy in Free Software licensing. It provides a variety of services
for individuals, community projects and commercial businesses with the aim of
fostering best practice throughout the industry.</p>
<p>For more information about the FTF or the first European Licensing and Legal
Workshop please contact the FTF:</p>
