[WikiEN-l] Text of proposed updated copyright notice

Fri Sep 19 07:34:22 UTC 2003

Sorry that I am late to this debate. In Alex's proposal, I read

   "[...] you further affirm that such text is not defamatory or in
    violation of any law; [...]"

I strongly object to this language. I do not feel a moral 
obligation to be bound by all laws, not even by all 
laws I happen to know about or that apply to me. Also, 
I am not capable to decide whether a given piece of 
text violates any law, not even those laws I happen 
to know about or that apply to me. I however do 
feel a moral obligation to be honest, which would therefore
preclude me from affirming the above.

Axel

P.S. Minor point: presumably there are or have been laws 
against defamation somewhere, so it is not necessary to 
mention defamation specifically.
