I am not going to package any software under that license. I just want
to know, if installing, running and using software under such license is
ethically right thing to do. And I think I am not the only one pondering
such ethical question: For example many of you may have accounts to Sun
Solaris systems and sooner or later they may be upgraded to version 10.
