Is this for personal or commercial purposes?  If personal, then I'm not
trying to get in your way.  If you want to do something for personal use
that my copyright prevents, let me know and there's a good chance I can give
you explicit permission.

Basically I don't want to stop anyone that just wants to play around with
USB or make a USB device for their own use.  I don't even want to stop
someone from evaluating the USB framework to determine whether it is
suitable for their commercial use.  However, I spent some time and money
developing the framework, and I'd like to get something back if others use
my efforts to make a profit.

Drawing the line exactly between personal and commercial in a few sentences
of legal speak is impossible.  So I did it conservatively because I can
always grant permission for individual cases, whereas I can't go backwards
the other way.

So again, if you or anyone else wants to use the USB framework in a way you
think is non-commercial but you think the restrictions get in the way, send
me a note describing the project.  If you have a commercial project in mind,
you should also get in touch with me because I've done this a few times
already and can save you time and trouble, which saves $$ in the end.
