... really? This is getting a <i>bit</i> silly now.<br>
<br>
Between Ansgar, myself. Simon and others I probably missed, this
issue has been discussed in detail now.<br>
There is nothing more to discuss - this will be my last reply on
this issue.<br>
<br>
* The Non-Binding Preamble describes the intent of the license, and
the authors wishes<br>
* Section 1 & 2 <i>permits</i> all free distribution, and
commercial distribution in aggregate with other software<br>
* Section 3 acts as a catch-all and prohibits sale - except where
it is expressly permitted by 1 or 2.<br>
<br>
I deny the license is 'deceptive'. <br>
<br>
*You* (the user) have the freedom to act immorally, find a loophole
and cheat, to intentionally ignore<br>
the express intent of the license. This is called "obeying the
letter but not the spirit" and has been<br>
happening since the dawn of modern civilization:<br>

<br>
All parties who actually have any invested stake in the license were
and are still currently<br>
satisfied. Until Monday, when whoever staffs <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:info@revolution.co.uk">info@revolution.co.uk</a>
sees the volume of messages<br>
this has generated.<br>
