Here's what I've sent to them:

I have no problem with the live chat. But I request two things before I can do that:
1) The contents of the interview must be licensed either under the creative commons license or the GNUfree documentation license. I don't like your restrictive copyrights and I'm not going to talk if whatI'm going to say'll be under this retrictive copyrights.

2) Either remove the "this site is best viewed with Internet Explorer 4" button or add a "this site
can be viewed with firefox" button similar to the Internet explorer one from the WHOLE website.

I know that you are not responsible for the above 2 points, But they are against my believes and
against what I'm working for.

If you want to ignore my request then you'll find people whom are part of the arabeyes project and
they'll have no problems with the interview without asking for the 2 points I'm asking for.

Best regards,
