All resources are precious. It is just a matter of Degree. SPI has legal resources and we will make use of them as we need to. Of interest here is that I actually don't agree with Anthony. If a contributing member to SPI would like a legal question answered I think SPI has a duty to get that question answered. However, I do not think we should do this lightly as resource are precious. In this case, as the question is for the Debian project explicitly, I believe it should be the DPL that makes the request. I would ask that you, if you feel that strongly about it, take up your cause with Debian. Should Debian chose to engage SPI's legal services for such a mission, then we shall follow through diligently. Sincerely, Joshua D.
