American Airlines copyrights

I put it here due to it being a developer's information
Some of you may or may not know that about 4 years ago American Airlines demanded Flightsim.com (and possibly other sites) to remove any plane that had a livery that AA owned. Since then, AA has "allowed" the flighsim community to release their liveries. If you do release one, I guess you have to put a disclaimer in the readme file.
The reason I mention this is the current battle involving copyright infringments on an other site. I would hate to Pete be forced to remove planes because of something this stupid. For info and the copyright statement go to
