Well. I guess I am unable to communicate with lawyera, and I do not know
how to describe my questions to them, and what are the community laws in
the legal-list etc. So I either ask people to help me do this
questioning task, OR someone please do this task, OR I stop this
accessibility implementation activity at all because legal communities
are a taboo, a forbidden area and a roadblock for me.

I am rather hopeless about existence of a possibility that someone will
actually help to ask lawyers.

Thank you,
