Ok, that's fine.

Ok. My statement still stands though. Current day open-source
development that is BSD licensed or similarly can go directly to
Microsoft. Any developers should be well aware of that before
choosing such a license. I didn't mean to start such a

Sorry for the offtopic posting about it. Any responses should be
via direct mail.
