part of my problem with conservancy's statement was thinking that it was actually written by lawyers, and that it was incredibly unlawyerlike.
you see, i have spent a lot of time with lawyers over the years. i have not just been a code monkey, i have been a manager too, and i have had to deal with lawyers often.
how would i describe lawyers in a word? perhaps 'careful' or 'risk-averse'? they certainly wouldn't be advocating just jump full bore into a new massive legal risk without settled case law, at any rate.
but if it's just written by some guy, there's no reason to expect any sort of sense to it at all.
