He is leading an effort, under the banner of Law.gov, to bring online all primary legal materials (including legal codes and case law) for open public access. An early Internet pioneer, he is the author of many early books about networking such as ''Analyzing Novell Networks'' and ''DEC Networks and Architectures''.〔 〕 In September 2015, Malamud published a petition to the Government of the United Kingdom, calling for it to make the safety standards published by the European Union for toy safety freely available, rather than allowing them to continue being only available at high cost and subject to restrictive terms of use. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carl Malamud」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
