fiduciary licence agreement v1.0: legal stability for free software

The Free Software Foundation Europe announced the first publicly available version of its Fiduciary Licence Agreement (FLA); an agreement that will help securing the legal stability of Free Software by allowing the FSF Europe to act as the fiduciary for Free Software authors and projects. By this, the Fiduciary Licence Agreement will help retaining the legal maintainability of Free Software, making sure that Free Software remains legally safe to use in all areas commercial or non-commercial.

While reducing the legal risks for authors of Free Software, it will enable the FSF Europe to defend Free Software on behalf of the author against abuse - even in court, if necessary.

And it will provide a solid neutral ground for projects with parties involved that differ in their aims and policies, be they commercial or non-commercial. >from *FSF Europe releases Fiduciary Licence Agreement V1.0*. february 4, 2003
