Legal status
The state of the law Inverse was last checked against, and what changed because of it.
Inverse tracks the rules behind the two buttons. Each release states the date it was last checked against the sources, and every change that was made because of the law is listed here and in the changelog. Inverse Pro licence holders get the same updates through the Pro packages; if the rules or a ruling change something in the texts, the fix ships as a new version and a note in the release post.

Not legal advice
A current revision date means the texts were compared with the sources on that day, not that a court agrees with them. Placement on your pages, your terms and the handling of individual cases stay your responsibility; see legal requirements.
