You didn't create CD Recording drives either but still you introduced a solution to the problem of writing to them. So, why should that stop you now? People ask you to simply dual-license it because: - it's almost NO effort to you - it will put to an END to any possible misinterpretations and uncertainties - now and in the future - it will show your good will to engage in discussions - people might prefer GPL in some jurisdictions even if you think it's bullshit -- damjan
