Open Source For Lawyers?

An anonymous reader writes "Law Technology News is reporting that FOSS for large law firms and corporate counsel is starting to gain traction. There's a project called FreeEed, for the electronic discovery step in lawsuits, and there's software for the document page numbering process known as Bates stamping — affectionately called 'Bates Master' by the programmers. Are big law firms ready to accept open-source code?"

Think of it this way

Just imagine how the lawyers will respond when some patent troll or monopolistic company tries to sue their favorite software out of existence.
