[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8913966, member: 7023840"] That's not an accurate hypothetical, because that's not how the law works. In any universe. If people were actually trying to comment in [I]good faith, [/I]and accepted the fact that this is not, in fact, an open license, and wanted to provide accurate feedback as to what proper changes to the boilerplate would be ... instead of engaging in repeated inaccurate hypotheticals, they would do one of the following: 1. Ask that a standard severance provision be put in (one that states something along the lines of, [I]In case any one or more of the provisions of this License shall be found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained in this License will not be affected.[/I] 2. Ask that Hasbro [I]specify[/I] those provision that must remain standing for the license to continue (one that state something along the lines of, [I]In case any one or more of the provisions of this License shall be found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained in this License will not be affected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision of term of this License, the provisions in paragraphs X and Y are are considered necessary to the [I]License [/I]as a whole, and if paragraphs X or Y are held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in an respect, the entire [I]License [/I]shall be declared void in its entirety.).[/I] 3. Ask that the severance provision be removed, because they don't understand what it means ... and take their chances. Go on. Do it. ;) [/QUOTE]
