Dear Paul

I don't know why you have these harsh feelings about Tony and
whatever your reasons are and if they are justified or not, but
I don't think that "flaming" will help the community.

Tony helped me (and maybe others as well) by mentioning fedora, because 
I didn't know it and it seems quite an interesting project.

Whereas does anyone know what the actual license is? Is there a URL 
pointing to the license?

Thanks

Michael
