The people on this list can give you their interpretations, their intentions, and what they'd like to be true, but in the end, your company is the party responsible for following the terms of the license. Therefore, the only advice that counts before the fact is what your own corporate counsel says, and the only interpretation after the fact that counts is what the jury returns as a verdict. In other words, don't rely on this list for anything definitive in answer to this question. Consult your corporate counsel and do only what she says. Mike O'Brien
