You seem here to be saying "Let's not worry about it. You'll get sued, or you won't. There's no perfect answer, so don't bother trying to come up with somewhat better answers."

I think "Laymen being afraid to use or develop software" is a bigger problem. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list License-discuss@opensource.org http://projects.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss
