All Lawyers are in fact Open Source Advocates

August 3, 2005

Joi Ito points out that all lawyers treat contracts the same way open source advocates would like to treat software.  Next time you see your lawyer, ask him about this.  As for my clients who read this,  you know the answer.  I write my contracts from scratch and I have a copyright to all of them (all registered with the National Library!). ;)

Thanks to Sacha Chua for pointing this out.

UPDATE FROM SACHA:

I received this from Sacha today:

Here’s the source so you can properly credit it (and use other
interesting snippets):
