It's important to ask the lawyers the right question. Tell them we want to
be able to assure people that this is about the Open Source policy, not
simply that DoD finds nothing to worry about in our technical description
of the satellite. Let them figure out the best way to do that.

It would be a shame for AMSAT to choose not to use this strategy, but
mostly for AMSAT. ORI will be using it, and I think it will catch on in
colleges.

    Thanks
