We have advice from a lawyer who specialises in the area that this isn't
an issue.

Would you like it if some idiot kid who's played a few computer games
and maybe done some word processing came up and tried telling you that
the way your designing your IP routing table was no good?

Seriously, your concerns are baseless. It's certainly conceivable that
they're worth worrying about, and that's why we got professional legal
advice on the issue in the first place. And that legal advice is that
it's *perfectly okay* to do this.

Anyway, *plonk*. There's only so many times the same point can be made. If
you're going to just refuse to grok it, that's your loss.

Cheers,
aj
