Which is why the LDP stays above it. We state our needs as a project
and ask that licenses fill those needs. But we have no required
license.
I personally would rather we required modifications be allowed, but I
am only one staff member. And I do not mean for that to start a
flamewar. We can hold different opinions without having to argue them
to death. :-)

Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe
that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.
