I actually _did_ follow a bunch of messages where there was discussion about the license. Some good points were brought up, I'll admit. However, you are quite correct in stating that EVERY discussion has these same few points brought up, as well as general discussion and FUD, so that the original posting and any topics it has get lost in the noise. So, you are not alone. Personally, I think the constant repetition and ensuing flamewar does more harm then any license change might -- and it certainly isn't helping the people who are bringing it up all the time to win my vote. Thanks, Gerald
