Subject: [Legal] Advice for Counsel on OSHW 501c3
To: legal@lists.openhardware.org


Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone can provide advice for good legal counsel on forming a 501c3 foundation for a particular open-source hardware project.  (The foundation would ensure the IP remained community and free, and would provide grants to projects and companies working on the technology.)  Counsel does not need to be free, but there is a limited budget at this stage, and the foundation would likely need to be done before fundraising can begin for the project.

All apologies and request for advice of where to ask if this is the wrong place!

Thanks in advance,
Chris
