- dctoedt 17y agoTrue insofar as it goes, but remember that many legal issues really boil down to a question of whether a particular _business_ risk is worth taking. Some of the most valuable legal training I've ever gotten was from being the one-lawyer law department of a 500-person software company -- for a while, I was regularly 'educated' by our business folks that sometimes you've just got to take the risk even though it might make "the lawyers" slightly nervous. (Usual disclaimer: This isn't legal advice, consult a licensed attorney, YMMV, etc., etc.)
