This was discussed during the planning of the project. I can't speak for the
Droplift Project but my personal feeling is ... f**k 'em. Can't live life in
fear of lawyers and lawsuits. Sure, there's reasonable limits but
'self-censoring' is what the fat cat lawyer types want ... they want to be
able to scare you with a bunch of paper-rattling, without having to actually
prove anything or exert any real effort.

"...there is much opportunism in the air as people
try to charge money for things that were previously free. It's a great
scheme: instead of creating new goods and services, simply charge people
for existing materials -- whether or not those materials are actually the
stuff of culture, society, history, humanity, etc."
