I am an IP/IT attorney, located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I ´ve been practice law for almost 20 years as a litigator attorney at a law firm and worked for US Corporations. If you do legal work for a Corporation one of the first thing you must do is to understand what is your company´s business and what are the internal policies that are established, and logically their boundaries. Furthermore, Corporations set forth applicable rules or internal policies based on laws to all their subsidiaries worldwide. Normally, internal policies regulate business sales, grey market, FCPA, export control, antitrust, IP inbound and outbound rights, privacy, etc. If that Corporation pertains to the technology business, probably counts with an Open Source Policy. In 2007, I had my first encounter with a corporate policy about GPL/LGPL Architecture Guidelines. Undoubtedly, this fact awakened my interest in open source. These rules, in one way or another, are incorporated in the company business, specially in sales technology agreements. In August 2010 I joined Oracle legal, being part of my job was to provide the legal support to the Latin America Oracle Global Business Unit Linux/MySQL/Virtualization. In doing so, I had the chance to learn many of the topics around Linux services support practices.
