Hello Tuukka,

maybe I missed something. Did you answer the following most critical question 
brought up
by Juergen Bocklage-Ryannel and others? From Juergens E-Mail:

What about this?

> I know licensing in general can be a challenging topic, 

Non-technical terms like "use", "combine", "integrate" and "incorporate" are a 
lawyer's
paradise and make me sit up and take notice. If you want to make things less
'challenging', use techncial terms. Otherwise complaints and distrust will 
never end.

No matter if you are wrong or right... if you are writing in behalf of a 
company, such
generalized blames are a cardinal error. If you think a certain person uses 
inadequate
words, criticize directly.

See above.
