Hi,

while thinking about my answer to Dimitry, I noticed that I might have 
been a bit too fast on my answer to Dan.

Bottom line: I've confused myself, and I need some time to clarify my 
thoughts, and stop confusing you. I think I will even ask the FSF/GNU, 
that's probably the most secure. Stay tuned...
