As I have stated before, feel free to obtain your own copy of the Opinion from the clerks office. The judge who rendered the opinion certainly had legal training; I'm merely paraphrasing his statements, and those of Counsel from the Venture Law Group. I am constatly amazed by what people assume I have and have not studied. No, I am not a member of the Bar; but neither do I think legal documents (or standards documents) are so opaque that you have to specialize in a tiny field of study to understand their denotations (and connotations). If you want a professional legal opinion rather than hearsay, pay someone to render one; I'm sure we're all eager to see the results posted. > > Well, then you've never talked to a developer.

This is a red > herring. I suppose here that you're trying to relabel clause 2 as the "claim credit" clause, and 3 as the "advertising" clause. This is an incorrect characterization; clause 2 is the "license reproduction" clause. The "advertising" clause is Richard Stallman's name for the "claim credit" clause, and I refuse to allow his label to stick.
