Fwd: [software-preservation] SPN Law & Policy Discussion Groups - Next Steps

[Larry Masinter]

If anyone is interested in joining in the SPN discussion of "fair use" next Monday at 11 am  ,please  let me know (before registering); because I mihht need to settle Interlisp.org membership in SPN. (Eric?).

I'd like to see "fair use" expand to cover open source access to abandon-ware but it isn't a use case that I know of.

This meeting/discussion would overlap the Monday Interlisp Implementation meeting at 11 am so I hope to keep that meeting short.

Dear SPN community,

Please join members of the Law & Policy Working Group for our first discussion session on the Code of Best Practices for Fair Use in Software Preservation. Our hope is to encourage a stronger understanding of and confidence in Fair Use as a tool for software preservation across the SPN membership, and we look forward to discussing the Code with all of you.

This meeting will take place on September 15, 2025, at 2PM EDT  over Zoom, and will be facilitated by Brandon Butler and the members of the SPN Law & Policy Working Group. Please register for the event via this registration page.  

Our first meeting’s agenda is to introduce the discussion series, gauge interest in the identified “Situations” outlined in the guide, and determine the topic of the following discussion sessions based on our discussion. It would be helpful to know what specific software preservation actions stakeholders across the cultural heritage field are doing – and what they would like to do in the future – as we prepare to facilitate the discussion.

All best,

Claire Fox (on behalf of the Law & Policy Working Group)

Brandon Butler

Andrew Borman

Kyle Courtney

Ana Enriquez

Raven Lanier
