You don't see one for the 1W+1W AP, either.  Both are in-process.

Yes, it will apply.  You're being silly.

No, many get the dark side of Jim.  Consider poor Tony @ Demarc, who 
insisted that his cards were special, hand-selected, weren't prone to 
heat, etc.  Or my indictment of Valemount, which you've pointed out on 
your blog.

I suppose the real issue here is that you feel somehow ... singled out.

Oh wait, this is interesting.  Is it *your* mailing list?  Are they 
*your* meetings?

Yes, I'm about as loud on other lists.  But you knew that.

No, and I won't go into the reasons why here.  Even if it did (or does), 
do you label your product(s) this way?

I don't have a stance.

No, and I don't think you're going to get fined, either, and I've said 
so, more than once.  Course, the *individual* isn't engaged in commerce, 
and a careful reading of part 15 will explain why they're basically exempt.

We give detailed "whats known to work".  Its a F.A.Q.

You may wish to be more specific.  Do you accuse me of ripping off the 
GPL, or just being a nut-job?
