This is my favorite part. In the law I suppose there is no "threat of legal action" unless there is a statement along the lines of "do this or I sue". In reality, a letter from a lawyer *is* a threat of legal action, as lawyers know better than anyone. > (more carefully chosen verbiage deleted) I always thought that when I finally gave up pretending to be a physicist it would be fun to turn my hand to hacking as a profession, but with the prospect of getting a letter from a lawyer every time I release a piece of code, the word "fun" now seems somehow inappropriate. - dc Disclaimer: The usage of the phase "carefully chosen verbiage" by the Party of the Second Part in describing the deleted portions of the message from the Party of the First Part is not to be construed without prejudice as an indication that the remaining undeleted portion from the Party of the First Part is considered by the Party of the Second Part to be anything other than carefully chosen verbiage.
