I'm definitely not a lawyer either, and the license isn't optimal, but what exactly stops us from packaging it? (Not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand). We'd be packaging it in a way that satisfies 4a, and users are welcome to modify it once its installed on their system. Or is the fact that you couldn't change the branding for redistribution if you wanted to enough to give it the boot? -- Jarod Wilson jwilson@xxxxxxxxxx
