Korean Copyright Commission Publishes "Principles of Community Oriented 
GPL Compliance" in Korean
Karen Sandler Featured Speaker in Seoul Conference

As part of Software Freedom Conservancy's participation in the Open 
Source SW License Insight Conference in Seoul on October 14, the Korean 
Copyright Commission (KCC) has published the Principles of Community 
Oriented GPL Compliance translated in Korean. The document is available 
for download on KCC's Website and on Conservancy's site in html and as a 
pdf. The Principles were published by the Free Software Foundation and 
Conservancy earlier this month, and set forth norms around 
community-oriented enforcement, removing uncertainty for companies who 
face compliance actions and providing criteria for evaluating whether 
license compliance is in the community's interest.

Conservancy's Executive Director Karen Sandler was a featured speaker at 
the Conference; in her talk, she gave an introduction to the ideology of 
software freedom and disscussed Conservancy's compliance work.

In addition to the conference, Sandler also spoke at a seminar held by 
the KCC in which she discussed the Principles in depth. The event was 
covered in Korean news. Both events are part of a KCC initiative to 
bring greater understanding of free and open source software in Korea. 
The KCC has published the translation of the Principles to increase 
materials that are available to Korean developers.

“I am thrilled that the Principles are available in Korean so soon after 
their initial publication,“ said Sandler. “I was very impressed with the 
KCC's events and look forward to seeing participation of Korean 
developers in free software to grow even further.“
