Hi Sophie, :-)
Truthfully, your interpretation of what that text refers to is
erroneous... they are talking of screenshots of Microsoft products
such as MS Windows or Office, but *not* of screenshots taken of other
people's products and works simply running under MS Windows... There's
no need to worry. You see screenshots of software running under
Windows *all over the Internet*... ;-) We're perfectly safe. ;-)
No, it's not my interpretation (I know I may not have a full
understanding of another language :), we never get a firm statement but
only different interpretations from lawyers, this is why we have decided
to not use screen shots made using Windows. I can't remember where the
discussions occurs on the OOo site, maybe website list, I'll point you
to the archives otherwise.
It may sound stupid, but can you imagine that I had to declare people
using ssh for the OOoFR site in France several years ago because the
encryption we used was not allowed and considered as a security issue.
I'm sure the Debian contributors never have to do so. Just to say that
we have to be cautious.
In any case, I already took a large number of screenshots, and our
documentation is *full* of screenshots taken under Windows, so this
would involve an *enormous* amount of work to rectify...... ;-)
Yes may be, but it's not a sufficient reason to continue to take the
risk :). The more we are visible and known, the more we are exposed.
Kind regards
Sophie
