I agree with Jon.  

David, I think we need a new list:  LEGAL400

That way folks from IBM legal could moderate in their ample spare time
:-)

I think I now understand why open source has never taken off in the  
IBM i community - we can never get past the arguments about what the  
(largely unenforceable) license terms mean and actually get down to  
coding and sharing.

If it is all as bad as some seem to think then why have SugarCRM, PHP,  
MySQL, Linux, and on and on been able to succeed so well?
