Hmmm... Basically that the contributor explicitly warrants that he has the authority to grant those rights ... (Incidentally, if I understand my UK law correctly, clause 8 could be problematic although that's extremely unlikely in practice. Under certain - in this case improbable - circumstances, the smaller party has choice of venue, contract clauses notwithstanding :-) Anyways, even if I'm not happy with this, sounds like I ought to bow out of it. (And the good news is, hopefully 11.1 will soon be irrelevant - it looks like software patents - as in "software on a general purpose computer" - will soon be dead in the water :-) Cheers, Wol _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
