I don't think there should be any copyright problems. After all,
there<br>
isn't really any copyright problems with the USA not being in the
EU,<br>
so UK not being in the EU shouldn't matter that much.<br>

Things are so uncertain at the moment that it probably isn't really
worth speculating. In practical terms while there could be for
example issues with data protection legislation, it is difficult to
imagine a scenario in which the UK or Wangland would not have to
have EU compatible rules (which is one of the reasons that the whole
thing is incredibly daft), just as for example the country that I'm
a resident of.<br>
<br>
Copyright however might be an exception in that DB protection could
potentially go away (CH doesn't have that for example), however the
rest is standard fare and globally roughly the same.<br>

Assuming that the funds coming in for the event have not been
exchanged to GBP (and would remain mainly Euro and $) in Euro the
event P&L should remain roughly the same. In the reported
financials, assuming the Pound stays weak, it will increase the
events reported profit or loss (since that is converted to GBP).<br>
<br>
In other words I would expect that the effect is going to be
negligible. <br>
<br>
On the other hand for the LWG (3rd largest budget in the OSMF) given
that essentially all filing fees etc are incurred outside of the UK,
costs have naturally gone up.<br>
