Hi,
   I was on vacation for a few days or I might have jumped in a bit earlier
on this. I will only point out that this exact discussion has come up every
time Paul puts out a new release of his software. I don't know whether the
folks here do not search the archives, or whether they forget this clause
from release to release, as I sometimes do, but this is all covered ground.

   My (personal, not legal) reading of this is that it's really up to the
user to decide what he's doing. I (personally, not legally) agree with you
and do not think that when I play new age music, or shred a bit with my
guitar, that I'm making music against God and Jesus Christ. If someone else
does, then they should not use the software, or they could use it and
understand that they may be in violation of Paul's license, thus risking a
suit from Paul.

   I (personally, not legally) think Paul has the right to make any
additional restrictions to the use of his software that he sees fit. This is
his software. I support his right to do this, and I'm not even a regular
attendee of any religious institution.

   Anyway, asked and answered many times over the last year.

With best reards,
Mark
