I'm an English lawyer (solicitor) and my field of practice includes IT and copyright. I'm also a Debian user and hope that subscribing to this list can help me (a) understand better the interaction between the technical aspects of free software (in particular the process of building software from source) and the terms of the various licences, and (b) hopefully make a small contribution back to the project from my legal understanding. Being a lawyer, I feel the need to stick in the "TINLA" disclaimer to avoid upsetting my employer/liability insurers. :-) Thanks, John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
