[interfacekit] Re: BeLite

Basically, our relation to the BeLite stuff should be the same as our 
relation to AtheOS -- look, be inspired by, but do not crib code.  LGPL 
(basically) lets you link to the covered code without having to apply 
the GPL to your own code.  So, in a way, it's harmless to our code since 
it's "non-viral", but the whole point of not using the GPL in the first 
place was to make sure nobody with commercial interests got spooked by 
the license.

So, in short, look but don't touch. =)

not understanding, and understanding is not wisdom.
