I've been a technical writer for over 20 years, off and on.  It was my
second "professional" job, and the one that has most frequently paid
my salary.  The advice I gave earlier is both repeated and consistent
from every one of my employers.

However, if you got a lawyer that says otherwise, feel free to take
that advice instead.  I'm just quoting what I know, trying to help.
