Arf!  I got it wrong!  Please can we use the GPL version and
*not* the AFPL version?  The AFPL has some prohibition of
commercial activities more than the GPL, IIRC.  When the same
version is available under both, let's choose GPL.


Since it was my suggestion to use AFPL, as I didn't see these
prohibitations as a problem for us and that they, if I have understand
it correctly, are the same program, just that the GPL version is a
couple of releases behind, due to redistribution issues, could you
explain, or just point to where I can read about it, this prohibition
to me? (I like using commas :p )
