Many are of the opinion the thing has to be licensed under the GPL or
able to be under the GPL for it to be compatible.  I still see no harm in
this if it's otherwise licensed well.  Andreas has some inhibitions but I
don't yet know what they are.

It'd be nice if a Copyright lawyer would look at it actually.  I'm trying
to do something about that, however this is a big if right now and I
wouldn't hold your breath.

A Cyrix.  6x86L at least so it's not melting the motherboard, but it's
still old and slow by any modern standard.  It was slow when I bought it
2 years ago.  And if I were to spend my money on any upgrade, it'd
probably be a monitor.  I really do need a very large screen monitor.

No worries though, I will manage with what I have until I can get
something better.
