[liberationtech] Two new tech-for-good companies

[Renee Lloyd]

Very cool tech ideas (especially ioby).   To my disappointment, I noticed that the posted legal terms and policies are the same old, one-sided to favor company ‘dump all risk on user’ terms we see littering tech.  Has there been any progress on developing contract terms and policies that actually match and reflect the mission of the company?   Anyone know of any projects or efforts underway on this front? 

Thanks!
