There are sections where the developer indemnifies FPI from liability, but there seems to be nothing in the reverse of that. On face value, it looks a bit one-sided. How about some clauses where FPI indemnifies the developer from any legal liability arising from FPI's use of the code? IANAL, but it seems that part of the deal is that the developer is willing to assume legal risks in FPI's use of the code, or in the use of the code by any other party who gets it from FPI. For instance, if someone inserted a vast MP3 site, and RIAA went ballistic, it looks like RIAA can go after the developers jointly or separately, and this agreement would indemnify FPI. I'd appreciate some clarification on this. -- Regards, David mailto:david at rebirthing.co.nz Defend your freedom of online speech http://freeweb.sf.net -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6 mQCPAzvXs9kBbgEEANHr7tHODruDgqTDPjODXSaq2I+EGsGvyZR3g+s5VyrlF2fH ftChHHhsQUK5nDzafSLvDg5ctMnIb/aeEN3HT2URfc2s3zyHHCvcWU0BKhiFjxl5 1mVm2ihf6Ld5koX8ECvXhVvWjP8vXqw4B0IUZ8nODlSExx7JsEsMt0+QelfBABEB AAG0JERhdmlkIE1jTmFiIDxkYXZpZEByZWJpcnRoaW5nLmNvLm56PokAlQMFEDvX s9lLDLdPkHpXwQEBCeAD/RVJ9nxGPDTSxaQLvDclN+N78aJFTxIlehc/XOK3QMgT CnrUjdi42xwKIGvWMD4Mfd3K4SNj50QfvvddrE8MYpMPDYIWLB31/bisVWja7QXT 3zMLh2dj2n52GjGM9xFtJoXGM8oOxrODteBSh5fx5PNqvMpj5Zq9J7jC23WZKDj0 =VHBU -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
