I've spoken briefly to Bruce and John, and they're in favor of some sort of
liberal licensing in return for publicity.
I've forwarded your mail on to them, and see what they reply about the
specific claims. I don't know how much they want to tip their hands on
this, but the good news is that they aren't going to be grabby on it. I'm
not worried that something simple can be hashed out.
