Caucho Public License

[Jeffry Smith <smith@missioncriticallinux.com>]

Caucho claims their modified QPL is Open Source:

(also below) 

I admit to being confused in terms of the Q Public License (the Open Source 
Certified QPL is the QT Public License), in addition to the fact that I can't 
tell if their license supersedes the QPL, adds to it, or what.
