Open Source Law Publications

OSL has a long standing tradition of community participation. Part of that participation includes the expression of opinions and the promotion of analysis and ideas through the publication of papers on topics of interest to the community. Papers are generally related to intellectual property law, technology, the social consequences of either, or some mix of two or more of these.
