	not knowing Harolds legal background or current standing w/
	the ABA, (or EU equivalent) I think that Bob's recommendation
	on getting actual legal advice on your question puts you and
	the organziation represented (IETF) on much better grounding
	than a simple; "I can answer that... no" on an email list.

	just my (uninformed) opinion.
