No. <quote> 1) Any use of analog which is illegal under international or local law is forbidden by this licence. Any such action is the sole responsibility of the person committing the action. [Some jurisdictions regulate the collection and processing of data relating to individuals, for example.] </quote> But the question is: are there cases this copyright would add legal obligations that the user doesn't already have? I would like to see this phrased as a reminder (e.g. if spam is illegal then using analog to generate spam is illegal), but I don't see that it violates DFSG. -- Raul
