you misinterpreted me.
My point is they have lawyers and have looked at the issues and made a cost
analysis decision as well as a legal one. Debian on the other hand has this
list of armchair lawyers. We tend to be a lot more conservative on what is
allowed and that is partly out of our goal to push freedom and partly from
our desire to not deal with lawyers or being sued.
