The one fundamental asset of IT companies is technology. If they fail
there they're doomed. No marketing, no legal department has ever saved
an IT company that had made bad technological decisions. People like
you are the asset. If the techies back down on what they think are
sane decisions and let lawyers do the steering the ship is doomed.
Plus, in my experience, sane and sound technological moves are being
well appreciated in most places. In the long run products (from the
open source angle) succeed because of good technology. Not because of
smart legal moves.

If you can't comment on legal stuff,
We _may_ be able to, as a _personal_ opinion on the topic but
techies generally lack of legal training and when we do so, our
mailing list post will appear almost always quoted grossly out of
context at some of the opensource "gossip & conspiracy theories"
sites out there, that makes us no favor ;-)
