I want to understand more about the legal issues. 1) Hosting at savannah.gnu.org. What issues do we have?
Hosted in the USA? You'd have DMCA / Patriot issues
3) Hosting under FSF India?
Right now, the indian copyright act is being cited.
And I must point out that copyright law is almost the same in all countries (including India and the USA) that are signatories to the Berne Convention.
4) What legal implications I will face, If I contribute to this project while I am in the US?
Please ask a competent lawyer. Maybe Eben Moglen, as he is counsel for gnu.org
5) Decoding may be, but Coding is not a crime. It doesn't matter if I am in US or India.
You may be right, but in practice, that is a matter for lawyers to interpret and courts to decide.
