Jeff, Thanks very much for bringing Conservancy into this thread. Jeff Layton wrote at 03:43 (PDT): > Bradley, any thoughts as to Ben's questions? On behalf of the Samba project (which is a member project of Conservancy), I want to study this question with the benefit Samba's and Conservancy's legal counsel (who is Conservancy's General Counsel, Tony Sebro (cc'ed)). We're going to look into this issue and we'll report back conclusions to the list here. It may take us a bit of time. Even seemingly simple questions like this often end up requiring more research and careful investigation than it seems it should. :) In particular, questions that have interrelated copyright and contractual agreements involved can often be like that. Feel free to ping me if you want a status update on our progress at any point. -- Bradley M.
