And what we were getting at earlier was trying to gently point out that you
can modify the license under which the software is distributed. For
example:
`This email is distributed under the GPL v2.0 or any later version however,
you may link this email the xforms libraries and distribute the resulting
binaries'
I didn't change the GPL. I changed the license of this email.
