This might be your feeling, but does not properly reflect what's been
written on this very list. If you're approaching legal affairs with
assumptions _that_ vague and imprecise as the above 'summary', then
you'll fail way before things have started.

Again, incorrect allegation.
BTW, I for example have a well limited 'budget' of time I can spend on
FlightGear-related stuff/development/whatever. Probably every of us is
limited in her/his ressources. Now, when looking at the FPS topic, I
would have to make my very personal decision wether I'm spending the
time on the continuation of Scenery development or on jumping into
legal trouble.
Guess what I'm going to do ;-) .... _not_ !! because I think FPS is
"fully legal" but instead because the other option has a better return
on investment, not only but also in the light of the FPS issue.
