General presentation

Mr. Peterson has practiced as an intellectual property attorney since 1983, primarily in the information technology industry. He joined HP in 1991. His current activities focus on two areas: open source software and standards setting. Since his first advice on the GNU General Public License in 1992, Mr. Peterson has provided legal advice on free and open source software licenses for a wide range of projects. He has been counsel to HP's Open Source Review Board since its formation in 2001. Mr. Peterson has provided legal advice concerning the development of standards since 1996, initially in the context of specific business activities and in recent years in development of HP policy. He has testified several times (in 2002 and 2007) on issues at the intersection of standards, intellectual property, and antitrust. Mr. Peterson received bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a juris doctorate from the Frankin Pierce Law Center.
