+  \small{by Gregory Pomerantz}}
+
+\subsubsection{Abstract}
+
+As Debian grows and becomes more successful, keeping Debian on the right side
+of the law will become increasingly important. This talk will begin with a
+basic introduction to some of the legal considerations affecting free software
+developers and Debian in particular, including copyright, patent, trademark and
+trade secret law.
+
+I will cover various legal tests for infringement of the various forms of
+"intellectual property," and propose some common sense strategies to help keep
+Debian out of trouble. There will be plenty of time for Q\&A, so come armed with
+your law-related questions.
