Sorry Rich, are you freaking kidding me? Europe would need to change |
| 10 |
laws? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? |

There's a very simple way to handle this and it doesn't require changing |
| 13 |

I'm afraid that now I have to just do a Greg and suggest that before you |
| 19 |
speak further, you talk to a lawyer. SFLC would probably answer your |
| 20 |
questions for free, if not try asking FSFe, I know they have a legal |
| 21 |
counsel office. |

Or do you think that Sun/Oracle and Google refuse to get people working |
| 24 |
on their project from Europe? |
