About
In response to requests during the FOSDEM Legal and Policy DevRoom, which is coordinated by a team of four that includes Conservancy's own Bradley M. Kuhn and Karen M. Sandler, Conservancy will organize a separate conference on the day following FOSDEM 2020, in Brussels, Belgium, called: The Annual International Copyleft Conference, or CopyleftConf for short.
Participants from throughout the copyleft world — developers, strategists, enforcement organizations, scholars and critics — will be welcomed for an in-depth, high bandwidth, and expert-level discussion about the day-to-day details of using copyleft licensing, obstacles facing copyleft and the future of copyleft as a strategy to advance and defend software freedom for users and developers around the world.
The event will provide a friendly and safe place for discussion of copyleft as a key strategy for defending software freedom. Our program committee (Molly de Blanc, Bradley Kuhn, Deb Nicholson, Nithya Ruff, Josh Simmons, Eilís Flanagan, and Harald Welte) is dedicated to putting on a lively and informative event where everyone feels welcome.
Conservancy encourages everyone to save the date of Monday 3 February 2020 in Brussels, Belgium for this second CopyleftConf. We've chosen the date and location to ease travel for those already attending FOSDEM the weekend preceding CopyleftConf.
Conservancy makes CopyleftConf happen. Please consider becoming a Supporter of our work year-round!
