Hi Tal
Thanks for your beautifier, but I'm afraid I can't use it because of
your restrictive copyright - in particular:

The point is that the software does not "use" Beautifier. It may at some
point in it's creation have been passed through your filter once,
possibly twice, but is no way dependent on it. Imagine if the same
requirement were made for an editor - "This software uses Vi - ...", or
worse, "This software uses cut -..."
If you can remove this from your copyright I'd be happy to have a look.
