The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) today

launches its Coders' Rights Project -- a new initiative to

protect programmers and developers from legal threats

hampering their cutting-edge research.

In conjunction with the project's launch, EFF is staffing

an "EFF Is In" booth at Black Hat USA 2008 in Las Vegas on

August 6 and 7. At the booth, EFF attorneys will provide

legal information on reverse engineering, vulnerability

reporting, and copyright law, as well as patent, trade

secret, and free speech issues.
