It's becoming clearer that Clive was keeping this project afloat against all the odds, and at some personal cost, so it's a miracle it lasted this long. With a less determined individual at the helm, it probably would have folded long ago and we all owe him a debt of gratitude.
What a sad world we live in that a -*"little late night coding on a "silly little internet project -*"should bring a whole heap of ordure down on your head. Whether moving the project to some kind of kickstart/crowd funding basis would/could avoid the legal problems I really wouldn't know. Even the repos have been withdrawn now, and so the project seems to have been brought to its knees. The spoilers have their victory. But I have a direct question. The -*the protection of a limited liability company*- was mentioned. Would the creation of such an entity avoided legal problems? Would you then have been able to create & distribute images for various ARM devices, host repos etc, free from legal threat and interference? Or it is more complicated than that? If the answer is it wouldn't have made much difference, then how does anyone ever get anywhere with anything? Or, perhaps there's something unique about content of this project that's has drawn the attention of potential litigants? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Krisbee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
