I asked that on d-legal recently (in response to the seventieth "license texts are unmodifiable, so we should give up and allow everything to be!"- esque argument, if I remember correctly), and Jacobo Tarrio started work on a FAQ. I havn't looked at it much yet; my impression is that it's too verbose--such a thing needs to be as brief as possible to convey the point, or it won't work very well--but I havn't had time yet to put together any suggestions. The most convincing arguments are the ones that have been presented on lists, in the course of discussions, and extracting those is probably the best bet--except that the particularly well-thought-out responses are buried among a couple thousand other mails ... -- Glenn Maynard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
