If you want a legal opinion, I highly suggest you contact an attorney.
Any legal advice you get on the Internet is suspect, at the very least.
 An attorney you hire is bound by law and ethics to give you the best
advice he/she can.  Internet users are not.

This is especially true if you're looking at a commercial product.

My two best friends are my attorney and my accountant.  Both have saved
me a lot of money over the years.
