I'm not a lawyer, I don't have access to a law library, and I'm not
going to make up information (unlikely the majority of "experts" on
the Usenet).  I'm also not going to pay a law firm to do the research
for me (unless you're willing to subsidize the effort). I try to have
appropriate facts on hand to discuss important subjects.  Thus, I
asked if there is anyone with definitive knowledge of the material.
An informed reply is yet to appear.  That leads me to believe that it
has yet to be defined, or no one in a position to know such things is
reading this group and willing to post.

I'm most definitely not trying to get anyone to do "homework" for me.
The implication is...amusing.
