Dear all,

I am sharing with you the final version of the FoP Report [1] produced for us by PhD students of the NYU Law School and the Haute Ecole de Commerces in Paris and their professors. The two higher education institutions run together a EU Public Interest Clinic that aims to work in support of public interest initiatives.

The conclusion is that a universal FoP exception allowing all uses is the best way forward for this exception.

Just as a re-cap, this is the fourth study on FoP we have so far. The others: 1. A community-generated analysis of FoP around the globe on Commons [2] 2. A EU implementation study done for us by the UniBIT University in Sofia [3] 3. A EU implementation study done for us by iRightsLaw Berlin [4]

Studies 1-3 analyse the current situation and the implementation or lack of FoP in different countries.

Cheers, Dimi
