Thanks for this, the FAQ is a very nice interpretation of the licence,
but i wonder how legally binding it is, and what guarantee that this
interpretation may not change in the future. AS for myself, i would much
prefer (from a legalese point of view), that the point 3 be changed to
be made more understandable and that would need less explaining. I
believe this is possible, but IANAL.

Will you ship this FAQ together with the licence in the source ? I
believe that this would be nice, especially as it is not all that big.
