This seems to be the third Legal Corner posting. Neither of the two earlier postings that I have found was submitted to me for proofreading. Reading them, I notice details that might justify making corrections to these permanent materials. For example, in https://fsfe.org/news/2025/news-20250407-01.en.html I read "The dispute eventually went to trial in August 2024 in the district court of Warsaw, when Newag brought a suit copyright infringement against both SPS and Dragon Sector, as well as an allegation of defamation." To say "brought a suit copyright infringement" might perhaps be corrected to "brought a suit alleging copyright infringement." For example, in https://fsfe.org/news/2025/news-20250217-01.en.html I read "This is the case even if they are minor or small changes; even single line bug fixes with a creative scope is a contribution that falls into this category." In the second clause, "is" should be "are." The subject of this verb is "fixes," so the verb must be plural. Ought I proofread these postings?
