[LRUG] Show LRUG: My weekend project

[David Salgado]

On a separate note, have you looked into the legal side of this, at
all? Is it actually legal to serve food & drink in your home and
charge people to eat it without getting licences or certifications or
whatever?

I know it sounds stupid, but if someone gets food poisoning or has a
serious allergic reaction, it's quite possible that lawyers could get
involved, which is rarely fun, and if your site is inciting people to
do something that isn't legal, I imagine there could be some liability
for you, as well.

I would have thought that all that is required is a disclaimer, but
it's probably worth thinking about.

IANAL
