You cc'ed me (which I responded to you privately about), but now I'll expound
to say that was not my position -- I merely pointed out that one (?) way to
seemingly get around the do not revoke meme would be, as an owner of the
software (not the owner of a copy of the software or owner of a license to use
the software (unless that license allowed what I'm going to mention)) is to
modify the software and issue the new version under different terms.
To all: please don't cc me unless there is some good special reason -- it
makes me feel that you are somehow personally attributing to me (or arguing
with me?) about something in the post.
