I don't think we are liable directly, but if it becomes clear that the akruti
glyphs are in fact copyrighted, we should stop distributing it.
I did go over the VOLT messages (not very thoroughly though) but I didn't see
any threat of legal action. Do you have any details ? I personally would very
much like that to happen, as it would help clear up the currently very murky
situation.
