My guess is that you would get a completely different answer to these questions:
"hey... if you got a moment, could tell me all about this patent thing and what I should know going forward?"

If this is really about making someone feel more comfortable about participating or simply raising awareness then by all means add a rule. My note was directed a little more towards those who may be at risk than those who would have to implement the rule since a loosely enforced guideline on an open list that you voluntarily subscribe to is a pretty thin veil. Andrei offers some sage advice in his last note: If you are unaware, simply walk over to your friendly corporate lawyer and ask them, "hey... if you got a moment, could tell me all about this patent thing and what I should know going forward?"
