As the debate seems to heat up more and more, I just like to clarify my suggestion: I'm not talking about expensive legal advice, rather about taking a friendly lawyer for a beer to the local pub and getting an opinion. I would want to avoid a solution, which later turns out to be completely incompatible with UK/English law. Nothing more and nothing less. I'm not a legal expert and I have no idea if there are precedence cases from other organisations in similar circumstances. I just want to avoid doing something legally completely stupid. If all options sound OK to a lawyer that's fine for me. I don't need a certificate. Just an opinion from a slightly more knowledgable person in legal matters. All the best, Marc ________________________________________________________ email: [email protected], [email protected] web: http://www.aston.ac.uk/~eberhama/ _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
