I wasn't giving general advice of what we might be able to get away 
with or what the law might allow for, but rather, a very conservative 
view that hopefully doesn't fail to be conservative to keep us and them 
happy.

In my opinion, if one wants to do fun things with the law, one needs to 
be the FSF lawyer; we can only do what is trivially obvious.  To me 
that would be, reimplementation of any part that might be protected by 
copyright, or assignment; beyond that, and I think we need to involve 
the SC or rms or the FSF lawyer.
