I haven't read the license, I was just going by what Jim Pick said, above. I think that may make fail dfsg point 3. If I can't make a modification that includes only say 50% of thier code and distibute it, it'd fail point 3. But patents... the DFSG doesn't deal with patents.. so perhaps I'm wrong. -- see shy jo
