I would have thought legal issues should be private by default. e.g. Project X has noticed company Y appears to be using their software in breach of license and wants advice and legal assistance. Going public with allegations might be good strategy, but personally I would want to discuss this situation with lawyers privately first. As an example of a legal issue which could be public, I asked on behalf of Biopython (part of the Open Bioinformatics Foundation umbrella) about *getting* legal advice on changing our open source licence. SPI referred us to the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC). Regards, Peter P.S. I also support clearer labelling of the topic and intended usage of each SPI mailing list - even having been subscribed to some for a while now, this was and is not obvious to me. _______________________________________________ Spi-general mailing list Spi-general@lists.spi-inc.org http://lists.spi-inc.org/listinfo/spi-general
