RE: Why not?

James,

I agree with you and Peter, personally.  (Dunno if the M-L OSS400 list is a
good venue or not, however.)  I have a project or two in mind, but I can't
deal with the GPL.  I thought James' GOSPEL license (James Kilgore's) was a
good start, and the dual MySQL license fascinates me.  (The MySQL license,
obviously, hasn't been tested in the courts so may not hold a lick a-water
at the end-o-the-day, however.)

But I also can't deal with GROSS income that doesn't even cover room and
board (let alone my server payments), so mebbe thaz moreuva personal
problem.
