It has made me more careful of what I post in some threads in the forum.
Mainly because I want to ensure to not make the legal problems worse for
the people involved by saying something that make them violate a NDA
they might have signed just because they are frustrated.

I think the important lesson for anyone that want to release a hardware
product/DIY-kit in the future is to make sure to do it through a company
instead of an unofficial community group or individual. Also, make sure
to use a name and thread that isn't closely related to the old dead
project.

I'm reasonably sure that Logitech isn't involved in any legal action
related to the old dead project, so don't consider Logitech to be the
bad guy regarding all this.
