When Bradley started working at the Free Software Foundation in September 2001, it was to join a team that then-executive director was putting together. It was a period of transition for the FSF. When he left the FSF in 2005 much of that agenda had been achieved, and he joined FSF legal counsel Eben Moglen and Dan Ravicher to set up the Software Freedom Law Center. Shortly after that he also helped to start the Software Freedom Conservancy.
