Sorry Rich, are you freaking kidding me? Europe would need to change laws? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? There's a very simple way to handle this and it doesn't require changing laws that are perfectly fine for most people living in Europe, thank you very much, and that's called a license agreement. https://fsfe.org/activities/ftf/fla.en.html I'm afraid that now I have to just do a Greg and suggest that before you speak further, you talk to a lawyer. SFLC would probably answer your questions for free, if not try asking FSFe, I know they have a legal counsel office. Or do you think that Sun/Oracle and Google refuse to get people working on their project from Europe? -- Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes flamee...@flameeyes.eu — http://blog.flameeyes.eu/
