Yep I agree with that. > There is also a thread open on legal-discuss to verify that CSS is > considered to be "media" and not "source code".

Yes is is unfortunate that the PMC failed to notice this issue. The issue had actually been brought up before the MDL code was checked in to a repo and there was some discussion about the issues but it wasn’t fully resolved. It’s unfortunate, that we forgot about that discussion, and that it slipped between the cracks. If the last call process had been followed it probably would of come up then rather than with the first release candidate but I’m not sure that would of saved any time. Thanks, Justin
