Dear Free Software Supporter,

The Free Software Foundation's (FSF) Licensing and Compliance Lab is
proud to announce that registration is now open for the continuing
legal education (CLE) seminar on GPL Enforcement and Legal Ethics,
which will be held on Wednesday, October 16, 2019, at the Raleigh
Convention Center in North Carolina.

The CLE seminar is a regular program from the FSF, where a select
group of experts and experienced instructors in the free software
community provide a comprehensive overview of current affairs in GPL
enforcement and copyleft. We invite legal professionals, law students,
free software developers, and anyone interested in licensing and
compliance topics to join. While registration is open to the public,
this seminar is a special opportunity for legal professionals and law
students who can potentially earn continuing legal education (CLE)
credits for participating (approval pending). The program will be
available shortly [on the event page][0].

the free software licensing enforcement process, ethical
considerations important to any lawyer working with clients involved

We are also opening up the event for potential sponsorships, offering
a unique opportunity to align with the FSF and the professional ethics
considerations in free software. Sponsors will receive complimentary
passes to this event, as well as additional benefits. For more
