I agree that many organizations
can't/won't sign up to that
restriction. I would think that we're probably only talking
about copyright infringement (including GPL issues), and patent
infringement.
The original proposal (by me) simply covered the ability to reverse
engineer proprietary applications/formats, and having some sort of
guarantee that this wouldn't result in a member suing another one.
this is all covered by the GPL... and by most Creative Commons licenses...
thats the purpose of the GPL, to ensure that these rights are preserved..

(also preserving the CC: list... sorry Daniel!)
