Corporate liability is indeed a big question.

If someone is to be the "mouthpiece of Novell", or for IBM, or for any
other such organization, it is needful for them to be a formal
representative of the corporation in question.

This fairly much mandates that they be an employee of the corporation.

If they aren't, then this introduces the substantial business risk that
a "representative" that they do not have control over may utter
statements that introduce liability to the corporation.
