On that question, I've got email back to 2006 suggesting that we need to
do this, as many other SDOs do, and I haven't seen any argument that it's
a mistake. We've just ducked the actual doing (even the education suggested
by the BOF in 2012 hasn't really happened).

Legal advice from yet another source is a fine idea, of course, but we've
asked before, and the legal answer has always been "Yes, do it."
