"Coders who explore technology through innovation and research play a vital role in developing and securing the software and hardware we use everyday. Yet this important work can be stymied by bogus legal threats," said EFF Civil Liberties Director Jennifer Granick, who is heading up the project. "EFF's Coders' Rights Project will provide a front-line defense for coders facing legal challenges for legitimate research activities." [From EFF's Coders' Rights Project [LWN.net]]
