SERVICES

Sopinspace is part of a consortium coordinated by MERIT (University of 
Maastricht, The Netherlands) that was selected by the European Commission to 
conduct a study on the economic impact of free / open source software. 
Results will be published at the end of 2006.

Sopinspace provides advice to the Software Freedom Law Center on the design  
of the commenting system and comment analysis within the revision process of 
the GNU GPL version 3 license (http://gplv3.fsf.org). These interfaces have 
been developed by the team of the Free Software Foundation. We also 
participate to the debate on issues of substance regarding the license 
revision.
