Assuming they would understand my question... Frankly speaking, I'm rather astonished at your and Eric's answers. I treated my question as a formality, and expected answers like "Of course you can do it, don't be silly." I guess I should have published it without asking... That's probably what I'm going to do in the future in similar cases. >> BTW, I'm not really afraid of EFF lawyers. > > EFF is the privacy organization. Do you mean FSF? Yes, of course, sorry.
