They are our contact into the lawyers who can give an opinion. As it being an opinion, it is not an answer (which usually only a court can give). Being that lawyers have a lot of research to try and craft any opinion.. it also takes time. Because the list of formats is very large, the list for what is not allowed can not be exhaustive. It is easier to instead say which formats are allowed. -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
