\begin{abstract}

This one-day course presents the details of five different GPL compliance

cases handled by FSF's GPL Compliance Laboratory.  Each case offers unique

insights into problems that can arise when the terms of GPL are not

properly followed, and how diplomatic negotiation between the violator and

the copyright holder can yield positive results for both parties.

This course also includes a unit on the ethical considerations for

attorneys who want to represent clients that make use of or sell Free

Software products.

Attendees should have successfully completely the course, a ``Detailed

Study and Analysis of GPL and LGPL'', as the material from that course

forms the building blocks for this material.

The course is of most interest to lawyers who have clients or employers

that deal with Free Software on a regular basis.  However, technical

managers and executives whose businesses use or distribute Free Software

will also find the course very helpful.
