About this blog This site does not reflect the opinions, views, or official actions of any of the following entities: The United States Government Any agency or instrumentality of the United States Government Canonical, Limited The State of Ohio Any agency or instrumentality of the State of Ohio Lakeland Community College West Avenue Church of Christ or any operational function thereof The organizing team for the Music Along The River festival The Ashtabula County Metroparks Board Others potentially yet to be mentioned The views herein are solely those of the author. On the other hand, my emails are usually signed and "licensed under CC-BY-4.0" with permission to "please copy freely." If there is likely to be confusion that my words will be interpreted as attorney-advice rather than merely conversational like everyone else's words on this email list, I add the following brief disclaimer: "If this were legal advice it would have been accompanied by a bill." I learned that email disclaimer from Mark Lemley, who knows more about intellectual property law than anyone on this list. Such is the discussion freedom of a college professor like Lemley or a small country lawyer like me from the backwoods of California. You government lawyers give up too much freedom to speak up. Most of the rest of the attorney disclaimers on emails sent to most open source discussion lists are just words that attorneys recite in church. Such emails are effectively though not literally public domain, or at least their ideas are. At your suggestion, Stephen, I won't bother with a FOIA request "to the government lawyers." :-) /Larry Lawrence Rosen Rosenlaw (www.rosenlaw.com) 3001 King Ranch Rd., Ukiah, CA 95482 Cell: 707-478-8932 This email is licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
