It's not fact - it's an impression. > It's all about how it looks. And it's not too far from being true, with one or two privisos, though: 1 -Somebody has to have "control" - that somebody can be Tony Tebby, or anybody else. It so happens that I go the ball started, and I seem to have gotten stuck with it. Fair enough for me. But, neither I nor the 'two resellers' "gave" ourselves control. That was, and contiinues to be, given to us by Tony Tebby. (BTW: I sense something disparaging in the mention of "two resellers". I would clearly like to state that they and, notably Jochen Merz (who has been at it for far longer) ahve supported the QL screnen for a very long time. I see nothing wrong with them getting some money. Believe me, it doesn't even cover their costs for things such as coming to Eindhoven. I believe that without their continued support, (but also that of people like Tony Firshman - or Peter Graf) the QL scene will wither and die. That does not mean that other people's support is not important either. ) 2 - EVERYTHING that will ultimately go into the licence will be submitted and approved by Tony. > A minor rewrite of clarification or expansion would be nice. Don't worry, I'll come to that. I'll make the entire licence available here. Wolfgang
