Yes, I'm not a lawyer. Do not rely on anything I say as a legal opinion.
Even if I *were* a lawyer, my postings here would not constitute legal
advice. Please, I don't want to be sued for practicing law without a
license! I'm just describing what little I've learned, which is far more
than I should have to know under a sane copyright law system. :-/
Actually, you're the frickin' DPL. Go get a real legal opinion already.
Call SPI's lawyer. I will be extremely surprised if he says "Yeah, sure,
this stuff is totally legal to distribute", but who knows?

Bush admitted to violating FISA and said he was proud of it.
