No, what I mean is what I said, "We have to be careful getting too closely associated with any third-party project that could be used to make a case for inducement of copyright infringement against us." We can control what we say, and what we implement in Freenet, but we have far less control over what can be said by the creators of third- party software that we could be accused of endorsing. Ian.
