GitHub stuffs $1m in Stanford Law School's pocket to provide free legal advice to DMCA-hit developers

Copy
GitHub has pledged $1m to, among other things, provide developers facing copyright takedown claims with free legal advice from a top US university, it announced on Tuesday.
The donation will fund, for two years at least, the GitHub Developer Rights Fellowship at Stanford Law School's Juelsgaard Intellectual Property and Innovation Clinic. The money will be used to hire a fellow at the clinic to carry out academic research and raise awareness of issues with America's Digital Millennium Copyright Act; teach students how to work with developers in this area; and provide the aforementioned legal counsel to programmers who have received a DMCA takedown.
