[sldev] [POLICY] Our lawyers are not on this mailing list

[Christian Scholz / Tao Takashi (SL)]

Hi!

So what about creating more mailinglists then with these topics? Esp.
legal seems to grow more and more important (also thanks to such
changes like the TM policy thing or new things like OGP). I think
these need an open discussion, not something hidden in some private
email (as long as it's not a personal problem)
