Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) was launched in February 2005 with Eben Moglen as Chairman.
Initial funding of $4 million (3.07 million euro) was provided by Open Source Development Labs.
A news article stated: Moglen expects — in fact, plans for — a large turnover in the staff. After five years, he anticipates 20 to 30 lawyers will have passed through the Center. By the time these alumni move on, Moglen hopes that its members will have the expertise to advise both communities and corporations alike. It will also create a loose association whose members can consult with each other as necessary. [1] (http://trends.newsforge.com/trends/05/02/11/2216239.shtml?tid=147)
