Folks, dmalloc has proposed the following revised legal statement. He says that he got no feedback about it although I don't remember having seen it before. I personally do not think that a number of the clauses in the revised statement are appropriate for Fink. Any other opinions?
-- Dave P.S. Please forgive formatting, this is cut-and-paste from the CVS log... The new material goes in between the current Copyright statment and the final sentence, on http://fink.sourceforge.net/legal.php . Log Message: Various legal additions this should cover all we need under german and international law. I got no feedback so I am simply doing it. I have a backup copy of the old legal.php so we can easily revert this should it be needed. This has been checked and verified by a real laywers department.
