Hmmm, another problem with the license.
Until they submit the changes with source to him, he can't make them
'official', so they can't sell them, thereby can't sell the Q60.
So basically, Wolfgang has veto power over their ability to sell machines,
to some extent. They "can't" sell them with SMSQ/E until he approves the
changes. This also requires them to contribute their changes to other
branches of SMSQ too, and to divulge their intellectual property.
Can. Of. Worms. *shudders*
Glad I'm not stuck in this position. :o)
