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?
