Personally, I don't see "distributing non-modifiable license texts" to be "violating the social contract". I don't think anyone ever will consider that to be the case, either. Like people have said before: this is pointless nitpicking. I hope this never gets to vote; I don't want to be considered part of a bunch of crazy fanatics, which is exactly what we'll be if it does. -- Fun will now commence -- Seven Of Nine, "Ashes to Ashes", stardate 53679.4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
