Wouldn't it be amazing if all FOSS projects - and plenty of other types of community projects too - had access to the right kind of high quality legal advice, as and when needed, for all their various needs.

Particularly since legal aspects of projects can have wide-reaching ramifications.

But, in my experience, as a lawyer who helps various projects pro bono when I have time - that's just not the case.

There are far more projects in need of legal support than there are lawyers willing and able to work for free / at very low rates.
