OSWALD Newsletter Archives (by issue #, click to view)
The Open Source Law Weekly Digest or OSWALD first launched late in 2002. Since then it has been regularly providing updates on all things open source related. The focus of this newsletter is on business, rather than technical developments in open source. Another strong component of the newsletter is IP news, as it is of interest to me and has an effect on open source.

Welcome to the Open Source Law Weekly Open Source Digest (OSWALD)
The Oracle "All Your APIS Are Belong To Us" v Google trial is underway at the moment, so lots of news stories on that. Glyn Moody is running a series of articles on open document formats in the UK based on an FOI request he sent in. The EU is calling for an end to "digital handcuffs". The NSW Police Force are being sued for copyright piracy. I wonder whether criminal charges will be laid. Canonical has also generated a fair bit of publicity for the most recent release of Ubuntu.

Open standards in government: one week to make it happen [UK] http://www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/2012/open-standards-in-government:-one-week-to-make-it-happen
http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/open-enterprise/2012/04/how-microsoft-fought-true-open-standards-ii/index.htm#comment-508564456
The Government are currently deciding whether they should commit to 'open standards'. If they do, when they publish information or data to the public or share documents within governments, they would have to use formats that are not 'owned' by one particular vendor.

The evidence we have for this is that a study by CEDI for the Danish Government showed that they could save up to £68. 4m by moving to a flexible two standard rather than a single ODF Standard. For the UK Government, the cost would be far greater and is estimated to be up to £516. 42m by moving to a flexible two standard rather than a single ODF Standard.

In a remarkable development last night resonant of the revelations in the Leveson inquiry, the Cabinet Office voided the findings of the first open standards consultation round-table on the grounds that it's facilitator had a previously undisclosed relationship with Microsoft.

Open source medicine puts health above profits http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/software/3353232/open-source-medicine-puts-health-above-profits/
Open source is powering a revolution in medicine and health care in multiple ways. Open source software and methods make large-scale collaborative research projects feasible, multiplying the brainpower applied to a project, expanding the data pool, and creating transparency and accountability. This is a huge win for the advancement of new treatments and cures, and cutting the costs of research. Open source practice and records software cut the costs of running medical practices, and puts practitioners in charge instead of software vendors.
