Sorry for answering this so late, I was on a holiday. The problem with
licenses is the reinforcement. We can put whatever we want into them, if
you live in a banana-republic, you do whatever you want. Even here in
.eu, it is not really a problem to "bypass" US licenses without being
sued or convicted. But what can we do about it? Before that bigger
problem is solved, I can't seem to find any motivation to discuss the
details :(
Tille.
