We have a problem with Harmony. One of the earlier authors
is getting worried about possible legal action. I don't think
he has anything to fear, but he has asked us to replace his
sources.

Would he still be legally responsible if he transferred all
rights to another party? If we can guarantee his safety he
has agreed to let us use his sources.

Is it possible for SPI to serve as a legal umbrella for the
new Harmony project? I do not fear a lawsuit, but just in case.
