In general, it is risky to make changes in accepted legal wording. What seems semantically equivalent to hackers like you and me might have a different legal meaning in some situations. Could you please show me the full license notice used in that package? I'd like to check that it is really equivalent and won't give strange results that perhaps none of us would like. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
