 Now that we've had two or three different problems with the license, and
 Wolfgang has given various reassurances (which has been a positive
 experience, Wolfgang!), 

Thanks, but this begs the question - have I been acting in 
accordance with these reassurances?

(Just BEGGING for a compilment here, of course).

 maybe we can amend the license a little to make
 these assurances explicit? It's november. Maybe we could make the
 relatively minor changes and have SMSQ/E license v1.1 come into force on
 January 1st?

Oh groan.

Groan. Groan. groan.

Mind you,I'm not saying no - just, well, groan.

Do you really want us to go through the entire debate again every 
year?


 I'm not looking at this as a way to squeeze more out of the license,

 No comment...

 but
 merely to tidy up those parts that have alrerady been found ambiguous?


 Maybe Wolfgang would like to submit the license to annual review, as the
 situation will change over time?

Actually, I wouldn't like it - but if there is really a demand for that, 
I'll do it.

Put it this way; every time an issue is raised, you have worked diligently
to resolve it. Sometimes I question your methods, but your results are
usually most satisfactory to most people.

  relatively minor changes and have SMSQ/E license v1.1 come into force on
  January 1st?

Appendix?

That isn't necessary. I was thinking maybe in mid-November each year you
could post a summary of issues that have arisen during the year, and
propose changes. Simply ignore and do not respond to discussion outside of
those very limited points. Yearly may well be too much. However, I think
some know time and place to suggest and discuss small changes or
corrections would be nice.

 Actually, I wouldn't like it - but if there is really a demand for that,
 I'll do it.

Not the *whole* license. Just the parts that seem contentious or
ambiguous?
