I resonate with your reasoning.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

The only problem I see is that there are potentially tricky copyright 
issues that must be resolved before those moves if we want to avoid 
future legal problems.

But if everything is done in a friendly attitude and for the good cause 
of Avalon, I'm sure there won't be problems.
