Licensing Volunteers
Licensing volunteers help the FSF answer the many questions we receive every day regarding the use and abuse of free software licenses. They discuss issues in #fsf-licensing on freenode with the FSF licensing staff in order to help the free software community to better understand licensing. Volunteers can also take on various licensing related projects, like helping import licenses from our license list into the Free Software Directory. Note that volunteers (even if they are lawyers) are not permitted or asked to give legal advice as part of their volunteer work. If you are interested in becoming a licensing volunteer, then please write to <licensing@fsf.org> and tell us a bit about your background, both legal and with the free software community.
