You're right. It is actively dangerous for pretty much any of us on this list to start speculating about theoretically possible lawsuits. I'd like to put my money where my mouth is and put in $50 to retain the FSF council Eben Moglen to answer this question with real legal advice. I figure it is not worth his time unless there are at least 2-3 others also willing to make the same contribution. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
