How does this work exactly....Mark Cuban sponsors a chair and the EFF hires 2 attorneys to execute the mission of the chair. But given that this a $250K grant, that sounds like it covers their salary for 1 year. What happens in the next year? Is this a commitment in perpetuity where he keeps paying these salaries? Or does the EFF have to find money next year to pay these salaries?
I am not condemning this move, I am really curious about how this stuff works.
No idea, but I guess having someone working on this issue full-time for a year will give them some idea of how effective this type of move is, and it's certainly better than no action at all.
If it is effective, I'm sure there are a variety of ways to continue to fund the initiative.

Perhaps...but I am still curious as to how it works :)
