6 There might be, but you have a good point: gentoo-dev might not be the best
7 place for this kind of discussion. However we do not have a dedicated list

10 We are big already and as an indication of this I see discussions related to
11 legal issues coming up every now and then. Also it is my opinion, that we
12 *should* be vary of [possible] legal issues. Sure it seems less inportant for
13 thechnically minded person, thus a tendency to put such questions off.
14 However discussing them timely (rather than waiting for bad things to come)
15 can save us from some substantial grief further down the road...
