This has been discussed quite a bit on user list and brought up during ESC at some point and I thought the consensus was "we'll just let them do what they want" and not endorse, support, etc... any of that. I thought that kept us out of legal muddy waters. It'd be similar to me just going to a friend who is a programmer and saying "dude, can I pay you $100 to fix this issue" - a contract completely out of TDF's hands.
