Re: [linuxiran] quick question

[Arash Partow]

Hello Arash,

I spoke to him sometime ago, however since then the issue has become
whether anyone can prove the index is from any particular version of
Aryanpour, in any case from my discussions we never really settled the
matter in any kind of decisive manner.

As far as risk is concerned I plan to distribute the reverse index freely,
I don't intend to make a profit from it, however the question remains if
it is seen as a derivative work then I may have a moral obligation to the
Aryanpour group.


Anywayz whats your impression about the reversing methodology? is it sound?



Regards


Arash
