Great. It's always good to spend a day or two a month wrangling over licensing issues and ideology :) Thanks everyone for staying amazingly fervor free through this and keeping the discussion more or less on point.

Great! Having been through the whole discussion the last few days, the intent of course remains to have SA have all its code available and release back updates of thing we use for further refinement. What I was mostly concerned with is making sure that anyone using SA (ISPs, etc) wouldn't need to be hugely concerned with licensing issues if they decided to modify the code and then offer to other entities/users in some way. There may or may not be a problem with that under the GPL; there fairly clearly is no problem doing anything like that under the PAL.
