Hi Mairin,
Not sure exactly where you are coming from in terms of wanting legal
to weigh in, but in general I don't think legals opinion is very relevant
and this point. The first step here should always be us as a project deciding what
user experience we want to offer our users, then once that is done go to legal
and try to work with them to figure out how it can be done.
The reason was that Legal was the big reason the rules are in place in the first place. They are not just in place because of software patents. They are in place because of different national laws on copyright, what is considered to be infringement or redistribution by even linking, trademark use (also dependent on nation etc), competition rules, and a probably another dozen other factors. Trying to ignore that and say we will try and work with legal after we have decided what we want to do is taking a long walk on a short pier.. you end up getting wet.
