[Incubator] First Meeting Minutes

[Daniel Brookshier]

On IP checking there are two commercial companies.
http://www.blackducksoftware.com/ - oriented on legal ownership and  
such.
http://www.palamida.com/index.html - More of a cataloging tool that  
identifies the IP, also management and traceability.

Palamida is a collabnet partner.  Both cost money, but I have no idea  
how much.

I think however, the right person to talk to us about IP is Rich. It  
is up to the lawyers to figure out, right?
