  Especially when it comes to contracts of the nature that the CORE-MoU
is putting forth.  Get a legal opinion on what EXACTLY your liabilities
are befor singning any contract is always good advise, maybe even
two opinions.  This one (Core-MoU), is fairly quirky in it's nature and
wording, so go to the best attourny you can find or you know of
befor singning it.
