I may be guilty of that. I might be short sighted but frankly
don't have the time, energy or knowledge to enter into a fray
with someone who has been doing this for nearly thirty years
(RMS). Those who know me might want to write this on their
calendar as; "the time Tim took the easy way out." <g>

I accept this. It will be posted. This is probably enough
ammunition to get me to change my mind (again) on the license
issue. Moral support helps. But formal legal advice rocks! <g>
Use of the GPL is, by far better for the community.
