    Top 10 FOSS legal developments of 2014 (Opensource.com)
    Mark Radcliffe covers
    some legal developments from 2014, on Opensource.com. "Governments
    are one of the most important users of software but have had a mixed record
    in using and contributing to FOSS (free and open source software). The EC
    recently announced that it intends to remove the barriers that may hinder
    code contributions to FOSS projects. In particular, the EC wants to clarify
    legal aspects, including intellectual property rights, copyright, and which
    author or authors to name when submitting code to the upstream
    repositories. Pierre Damas, Head of Sector at the Directorate General for
    IT, hopes that such clarification will motivate many of the EC’s software developers and functionaries to promote the use of FOSS at the EC.
