Reminds me: Bradley and Karen from the Software Freedom Conservancy have a podcast largely about foss legal topics [1] [1] https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/free-as-in-freedom/id4...

Drop the "the", just "Software Freedom Conservancy", it's cleaner. :) I'd been a fan of them for years before I realized there was no "the".
