I would love to hear what they have to say about software licencing, software patents, and copyright laws. It is a web of confusing terms and legal crap when for example you are advised that building your own software whilst working for a software firm gives all copyright and patent rights to your employer. What is even more confusing is organizations patenting or copyrighting open source projects! I need help understanding scenarios like that of Oracle and Google over Android.<br>

Hi,<div><br></div><div>I know a couple of IP and Commercial Lawyers... Together with @James Muendo&#39;s contacts, I&#39;m sure we can bring 3-5 of these for a workshop sometime soon? What questions would the Skunkworks team like to ask? What would you like to know... An agenda of sorts is needed before we organize it.</div>
