This *is* debian-legal; if anything anyone said here was actually
qualified legal advice, it wouldn't be given in this forum. It
certainly wouldn't be given by me.
Note, the "someone with no qualifications in this area" was referring a
member of the FRR project - not you (I don't know you).
Since there's not much more debian-legal can do for you, please seek
out a resource
I'm not looking for legal advice here. I have taken advice (indeed, I
have two independent sets of legal advice on this; i.e., another set of
advice obtained after the email of mine you linked to).
I am informing debian-legal of that advice, given that Debian appears to
be distributing the infringing work.
