Well, yes and no
Well I disagree with your analysis, but anyway neither of us are
attorneys (though I am a legal expert in copyright and license
matters), and it is pointless to argue such issues here, since they
are really not germane in any case to the fundamental issue of how
to handle the transition.
Agreed -- especially since, on reflection, what I said and what I intended
to say were not quite the same thing.
Apologies to all for the noise.
