    And I *knew* someone would bitch about GPL vs. BSD style lic. issues. I *knew* it.

    For the record, I don't use linux, I don't like linux (nor MS for that matter) and I don't pay attention to silly lic. issues.

    I was just pointing out that the general spirit of the EULAs would be akin to those I mentioned and it would be nice if they distilled it down to that.
