OK, second step -- the notice on the homepage has been changed from:
Welcome to the international fan-created LEGO® Users Group Network!
This is a place for LEGO® fans of all ages to find information, meet
one another, and share ideas. As an independent site by fans, for fans,
it is neither sponsored nor endorsed by the LEGO Company.

Welcome to the international fan-created LEGO® Users Group Network!
This is a place for LEGO® fans of all ages to find information, meet

it is neither sponsored nor endorsed by the LEGO Company. (Note: LEGO
has recently made a "no strings attached" financial donation not believed
to constitute sponsorship or endorsement in the legal sense. See the
admin > financial > donations page for details.)

It's ugly and wordy and icky on a homepage, but this hopefully is enough info
for people to make their own decisions as well as continuing to act as a legal
disclaimer and preventing the possibility being accidentally misleading if
someone makes assumptions about what sponsorship or endorsement means.
