I totally understand your point Visko and in a lot of ways you are correct. There is really no way to resolve this issue without signatures, notary and a bunch of totally technical jargon being put into print and validated by a lawsuit filed with a judgement issued.

Perhaps the best value is to establish a Mu* wide standard that is universally accepted as the moral norm regardless of age, signatures or ever getting to a lawsuit stage.

We, as a group, have some power in acceptance or denial of the validity of a Mu* as evidenced by the 'License Wars' of recent date. We can apply them to this situation also.

I certainly don't think I can come up with an airtight, binding agreement for our particular situation and I'm betting Matt Becker can't either. There are way too many variables and issues to dispute when push comes to shove in a courtroom. I DO believe we can create a Mu* wide policy of accepted behavior in a responsible, advertised Mu*.

The benefits to owners and builders is just too great to ignore.
