Bernd is unlikely to attend BeGeistert this time but then, as we all know, the
GPL isn't really worth the paper it's written on (which itself
is rarely the case); at least not in Europe. Maybe the SCO lawsuits will bring
clarification into the whole domain of software licences.
No, this is not an invitation to flame me on the list - comments regarding the
GPL please to me directly.
