You must realise that Doc is a professional who can be hired to do the job just like anyone else. Compensation or whether he is an AO fan do not play into this from a legal perspective.
In any case, Doc has not had "a fart in his general direction" beyond Kintaii saying they're interested. Whatever the legal ramification and whatnot, at least let him know in which direction you want this to go, FC. It just seems to be such a great opportunity to fix something that has been bugging a lot of people for a long time.
