Yep. Since I'm not a lawyer it probably wasn't necessary to include the "not legal advice" bit, but I'm just trying to be clear.

It’s illegal for a non-lawyer to claim to be giving legal advice, so it’s traditional to be clear that you aren’t doing that. (Of course, I’m not claiming to give you legal advice on this.)
