I clearly quoted the TPVP and showed what is literally there including how cross-references support the interpretation. Your retort which doesn't address this in any way clearly shows you are not interested in really debating what is written there. Whatever they write in the TPVP you'll assume they do it out of bad faith. With such prejudice you'll always find something to rant about.
Funny enough you apparently think the TPVP changes LL's legal position and I can assure you it does not. It rather simplifies than mystifies as this is about connecting to LL's grid which has been closed and theirs all along. If their grid is abused for example for copyright violations then they are free to assist in suing you as they please with or without the TPVP. I think your analogy of Novell vs SCO is far fetched. You're better off comparing this to The Pirate Bay or the recent Newzbin ruling. I don't ask people to rely on "good faith", I want them to see past the paranoia and use common sense. If LL is out to get TPV developers then creating the TPVP is a serious waste of time as there are far easier ways to do so.
