<BR>
my name is Lars Zimmermann, i am active in the field of open source hardware for various reasons. Because i always get the question of licensing i wrote something towards an Open Source Hardware License Guide. (Link: <a href="http://owiowi.net/liscense-guide-en/">http://owiowi.net/liscense-guide-en/</a> ). Leopold Zyka who is going to found the Open Farm Lab Austria read it and wrote me an email with an idea i think is great and probably interessting. <BR>
<BR>
Leo asked for an „Open Source Legal Advice Plattform or Forum“. Reading the license guide he had a lot more questions and wished there would be some kind of plattform, where he could find better answers – a plattform with a lot of example-cases / case-study. With answers written by lawyers. <BR>
<BR>
I remember that i saw once a forum in the internet where actual lawyers answered legal questions for money. Someone posted a question, then different lawyers called a price and the lawyer with the lowest bid got to answer the question and afterwards the answer was public available for all to study. A true open source way! <BR>
<BR>
So i think this is defenitely an interessting idea. Maybe if the right eyes read it they get inspired and put something into action. <BR>
