First I am not a lawyer, and second -dev should not be used for excessive |
| 12 |
non-technical discussions, nevertheless I believe that we all, every one |
| 13 |
of us, are in responsiblilty to the Gentoo Linux Social Contract. And thus |
| 14 |
the only right thing to do, is to alert each other when we see possible |
| 15 |
legal pit falls. |

No fence, but I have reasons to believe that Jon has more insight to |
| 18 |
copyright issues than most (at least normal) writers on dev-. If we are in |
| 19 |
doubt about the legality of any part of avifile, then we might consider to |
| 20 |
speak with a lawyer in order to keep Gentoo OSI-compatible. After all, the |
| 21 |
last thing "we" want, is to end up in court... |
