Yea, I don't know if it's any different in other countries, but here in the US anyone with money can sue anyone else (with or without money) for anything and cause them boatloads of trouble *regardless* of whether the case even has any merit at all (IANAL, of course). Heck, it's a common, well-established tactic for corporations. Personally, I wouldn't worry so much about it because there really isn't *anything* you can do to *truly* "cover your ass" (Haters gonna hate...and sue, merit or not), all you can ever really do is make a best-faith effort. Obviously don't take this as true legal advice, just one random curmudgeon's opinion ;)
