Anthony: Which is a very good thing when each
participant is legally liable for the actions decided
on.
Alain: We have been over this one many many times.
What liability are you referring to, Anthony? We are
not a corporation. We are not a partnership. We are a
free association of individuals. Any business ventures
entered into by one of our members has nothing to do
with our association. We sell nothing. Our product is
not dangerous and will undoubtedly contain the
standard disclaimers of non-responsibility ( software
accepted as-is ) ...
Alain: Now that the liability issue is out of the way,
let's move on to the main gist of my post. In my
humble opinion, we need to be unanimous on the
fundamentals, and we can settle for majorities of
varying degrees for the less fundamental issues.
