First of all, to avoid possible confusion or conspiracy theories, I just want to be very clear that ickStream has nothing to do with CSOS project nor anything that has happened to Clive personally. We were looking forward to see a community player compatible with the Squeezebox infrastructure and like everyone else around here we all feel very sad about the current situation both in the project and for Clive personally. I think the reference to ickStream NDA was just used as an example of a typical NDA. I'm no legal expert and due to this I do NOT recommend anyone to use text from the ickStream NDA. If someone really wants to distribute images in private, I'd recommend using the "Warranty" and "Limitation of liability" texts from one of the available open source licenses. Just make sure you read it and understand it before you use it and understand that if you are using it the wrong way it can potentially cause problems both for yourself, your relatives and people who have previously been involved in CSOS project. The last part from the 3-clause BSD license looks reasonably simple to me but since I'm not a legal expert I can't promise it will give anyone the necessary protection. For reference, even if I would like to make people happy I would personally not dare to distribute any images at the moment, the risk of causing problems for myself, my relatives or anyone who have been involved in the CSOS project is just too large when I don't understand what this is all about. I would be willing to share it to a close friend who I know and thrust but not with someone I don't know. Clive, if you feel I'm making this sound too scary, please feel free to correct me.
