I know we have been using Harmony code for the stubs for build checks but actually using the code runtime seems an extra step and I am not sure what implications it has for the project. Do we now need to do due diligence for CLA's etc on the code we use or is it ok to just have faith that Harmony has done the right thing? I also am a little wary about supporting any large amount of code from outside. This is just two small files, but maybe it sets a precedent that is not good. Maybe it is all fine, but I am curious about opinions. Thanks Kathey
