[Foundation-l] RfC: Draft licensing policy resolution

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
When as part of an EDP the option of "Fair use" is kept open, the 
specifics of this have to comply with the US law and with the laws that 
are prevalent for the country/countries that use the language. This 
means for instance that for French, not only the French but also the 
Belgian law has to be considered for the EDP.
Thanks,
   GerardM
