[Foundation-l] Fwd: [Commons-l] Time to Seek Professional Lawyers Advice?

[David Gerard]

Just what *is* the status of {{PD-Soviet}}? Is it bogus or not? Having
a bunch of wiki users vote on legal status doesn't strike me as
legally sound ...

Hi!

I have not good feelings about several recent discussions on Deletion
requests: trademarks and PD-Soviet. Discussions are more like politics
where more important is number of supporters, not arguments of sides.
And they are more like pack vs. pack fights, since supporters opinions
are defined by project where they are participating.

Professional lawyer advice could resolve such conflicts. So may be
it's good idea to seek such advice in such cases?

Eugene.

PS

{{PD-Polish}} could become next hot topic.
