Michelle,
It would be particularly helpful to ask the lawyers to clarify whether this finding can be directly applied to other open source amateur radio satellite projects. Posting their answer would help us determine whether your result is applicable to our projects.

I don’t want to dump the application on the internet without a clear ok from the firm. I’ll ask (again).
It's important to ask the lawyers the right question. Tell them we want to be able to assure people that this is about the Open Source policy, not simply that DoD finds nothing to worry about in our technical description of the satellite. Let them figure out the best way to do that.
It would be a shame for AMSAT to choose not to use this strategy, but mostly for AMSAT. ORI will be using it, and I think it will catch on in colleges.
Thanks Bruce
