CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@neil Of course not, legal advice is meant to be for everybody, but speaking from experience, most legal matters flew over our heads before we got (more or less ) organized into an org. The project was really just a github repo and an amount of people working on it but not really legally responsible nor willing to be. But maybe indeed that's a grey zone that would do better if some support or consultancy was available

@neil speaking as a @freecad maintainer, our problem is not really money. We have enough to pay a lawyer in case we need it, and smaller projects are much less likely to need a lawyer (you do that basically for heavier problems that involve money). Our main problem is actually to find local lawyers who know about FOSS and are willing to work in that context. The few that do are mostly expensive international firms...
