Yeah, it's a fair question, I certainly have to admit that.  I need to 
visit the Free Software site and see what they have to say about it.  
:-)  Seriously, I think I can defend my postion, but need to give some 
thought to it.  It seems like kind of a difficult issue.  My gut feeling 
is that I have the right view, but you raise good issues that need to be 
thought about for more than just a brief time..
