Allowing someone to download and use a piece of software under certain terms,
and then changing the terms after that person has made an investment of
time/money in order to use that software is not acceptable.
All I'm saying is that I'd like the redistribution terms/terms of use to come
with the software. That way I don't have to be paranoidically checking
dist.html every day to make sure Dan hasn't changed the terms.
