SoylentNews is people
SoylentNews
By now, you have had the chance to read the updates of both NCommander and Barrabas. Nonetheless, you may still be wondering quite a few things about the site and its staff. Here is your chance to ask us anything. These questions can be general in nature, in which case the staff will select a spokesperson to answer it, or it may be specific to an individual. If the question is for an individual, please ensure you identify that person specifically enough.
We will select the best questions from the thread and provide answers to the community. These questions may not be the highest rated, although we will probably use those first.
In keeping with tradition, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one question per post.

Does the open source license from the slashcode fully protect you from any litigation initated against you from the other site?

The whole thing was made as clean and as clear as possible. The team is serious about this.
That being said, there's no reason stopping anyone, the "other site" or enyone else to sue SN for anything, expecially in a sue-happy culture like the US.
While tThere are no legal bases for that, they sure can do that. It'd actually be an effective weapon against a project this young, as legal expenses would have to be spent anyway. I don't think they'd do this, tho, as It'd be the final blow to their image.
In two words: SN is clean, but being clean doens't protect form litigation anyway.
