No, it's not my interpretation (I know I may not have a full 
understanding of another language :), we never get a firm statement but 
only different interpretations from lawyers, this is why we have decided 
to not use screen shots made using Windows. I can't remember where the 
discussions occurs on the OOo site, maybe website list, I'll point you 
to the archives otherwise.

It may sound stupid, but can you imagine that I had to declare people 
using ssh for the OOoFR site in France several years ago because the 
encryption we used was not allowed and considered as a security issue. 
I'm sure the Debian contributors never have to do so. Just to say that 
we have to be cautious.

Yes may be, but it's not a sufficient reason to continue to take the 
risk :). The more we are visible and known, the more we are exposed.

Kind regards
