OK, so ODS is a packaging facility. I'm still not entirely clear on the non-commercial use clause that I assume is going to be added to the license for VOS. For example, if I were to build the next Craigslist and offer it's use for free, where would that fall? I'd not be using it commercially, but the visitors might be. And what if I decide it's getting too expensive for me to run out of pocket, would users be allowed to contribute to the hosting cost? In such a context, what exactly does "commercial use" mean? This might be an interesting case to put before the FSF. AT the very least it'll help to clearly draft the licensing language. Emile
