Not quite. It means that if anything goes wrong because your code
violates someone else's IP, neither BI nor Stanford are liable (i.e. they
can't be sued.) In that situation, BI/Stanford would still have to stop
using that code. Indemnification cannot be used as a loophole to avoid
paying IP licensing fees.

Fair enough. This is one reason why we need to create a new forum for OHS
development (which we are doing). The purpose of this list was to discuss
the colloquium, not to develop the OHS.
