Those two statements seem to be in conflict to me, as you are next making assumptions about what sorts of limits it puts on peer review. You use the words "legally constrain the reviewers" but neglect to mention how or why. That is not unimportant. It would be like me saying that "America is legally constraining me" but neglecting to mention that they are legally constraining me from running somebody over with a car. > In or out of the pool.

We have been explicit in stating that we are not open source [1,2], and yet you are accusing us of doing so. That is libel and/or slander. Please stop.
