Yes, I see that as well.  Of course, since I -- at the time -- was
building from a snapshot and not the original git repo, and the build
results seemed quite normal, I gave it no further thought.

I guess I'm not sure that I am the intended addressee.  Can you tell me
if you did, in fact, intend to send the original email to me, in the
legal sense of the definition of "intended addressee"?

In any case, please inform your legal department that I do not accept
apologies from lawyers, and that this email constitutes my notification
of that to your lawyers, that I have deleted all copies -- at least
those copies that _I_ possess; the email notice is rather vague as to
whether I am required to track down all copies that might exist in the
world today -- and I also shall perform no other act on the email.

P.S.  Neither can I warrant that my response to this email has not been
altered or corrupted during transmission.  And I'll go one better than
your lawyers, and note that you'll never know if my original email was
full of typos -- and that it was actually *corrected* during
transmission.  Poor lawyers...  that sort of disclaimer rather makes the
entire footnote they added there completely ridiculous and pointless,
doesn't it??!
