False.

"Furthermore, while WMF *may* be safe from attack on the grounds that *it*
is both non-profit and at arms length from the transaction itself, things
are certainly less clear for the commercial printer who could well find
themselves in serious trouble. What contract(s) are in place to cover WMF &
its chapter(s) in the case that such a supplier (rightly?) seeks recourse
because we have made such material available to them?"
