Well, the only problem is that when we distribute those source less CDs, i am
not sure the written (as in with ink an paper) offer comes with it, nor that
we really keep the source around for three years. Also, i wonder what the
three year means for someone getting the offer second handed from some other
guy ? Does the three year stand from the original distribution, or would it
prolongue itself indefinitely.
Please continue CCing me, as using lynx to write mail is somehow painfull.
