Subject: [TUHS] Help Contacting Unix Legal People

I understand the preference for a bottom-up entry, with somebody already sympathetic.
If there is no such entry point, top-down may work at Microfocus. I guess the ask is for a statement for SysV similar to the Nokia statement for 8th-10th Edition:

According to Companies’ House, the general counsel is Jane Smithard:
https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/01504593/officers
She appears to be 67, to have a long tenure with Microfocus and maybe is just the right person:
"Jane has more than 25 years’ experience as a lawyer in the IT industry and software sector. She has worked with Micro Focus for over 20 years providing a wide range of commercial and corporate legal services, from leading the efforts through the 2005 IPO to driving the legal aspects of the group’s mergers, acquisitions and divestitures strategy including the acquisition of HPE Software and divestiture of SUSE. Jane leads a team of approximately 60 lawyers and other professionals worldwide, the majority of whom are focused directly on supporting the Company’s commercial teams and business.”

Her e-mail appears to be jane (dot) smithard (at) microfocus (dot) com
But I guess that Dan Doernberg already knows all that. His book project sounds intriguing, by the way.
