That's pretty good news.

Also, I tangent and mention that I have been won over WRT OSL:  with its 
more tight "lawyerspeak" and mutual patent defense clauses, I consider 
OSL to be a "better GPL" license.

I would in fact love to see the Linux kernel relicensed under OSL.  I 
think that would close some "holes" that exist with the GPL, and give us 
a better legal standing.  But relicensing the kernel would be huge 
political undertaking, and I sure as hell don't have the energy, even if 
it possible.  No idea if Linus, Alan, Andrew, or any of the other major 
contributors would go for it, either.

	Jeff, the radical
