There is an appropriate medium for seeking legal advice and 
clarification - I'd almost certainly *never* recommend people ask on a 
-dev list - I'm not a lawyer and I wouldn't tell others to ask fellow 
armchair lawyers either.  I'm happy to ignore such topics, but IMHO the 
page should be updated if there's confusion on this.
