[9fans] license section 4

[Sam <sah@softcardsystems.com>]

What's the background on the example for
section 4?  To me, it reads that if a
contributor makes claim A, distributor
reiterates claim A, and for some strange
reason a lawsuit is filed against said
contributor because of that claim, the
distributor (which of possibly many?)
is liable for incurring the expense of
litigation and damages resulting from
that claim.

While I understand the notion that if
there are no claims, the distributor
is responsible for defending the veracity
of any claims *it* makes, (as section 5 and
unfitness for any particular purpose
would indicate), I can't see why this
is worth stating outright.

Is this patent violation related?

Cheers,

Sam
