Legal help from OSGeo?

[Chris Holmes]

Hey, what's the status with legal help from OSGeo?

My GeoTools guys have a number of questions that they want a lawyer to 
sound in on.  Rich is great, but he's volunteer only these days.

One of the 'benefits' we've talked about for projects is legal advice 
and protection.  Can we put funding towards getting a lawyer's time?  Or 
is there an autodesk person who's taking over Rich's role?  Could we get 
some in-kind time from autodesk's in house lawyers?  Or are there some 
other options?  This seems to be a gating issue for GeoTools to move out 
of incubation...  I think it's just clarification on what we've got 
written already, but it'd be nice to have an official voice weigh in.

Chris
