This is not a matter of "breaking the standard" [*] People should be able to modify TAO to conform to *another* standard. If they do not have this freedom, TAO is not free enough. [*] If the standard is good enough, people will not want to use a program that does not conform to the standard, so there is no need to write that in the license, but if the standard is not good enough and we need a new one, then everybody should be able to modify the TAO program to conform to the new standard, not only TAO authors. -- "34c0784cf3bea5aeaa98a08a6ad53247" (a truly random sig)
