Just started reading it a little just now - will prolly stop for the
evening and go to bed at this point(5:30am). Two thoughts: WOW that's a
lot of info to absorb. And WOW that is one of the nastiest licenses I've
seen in a while. "Oh, if you aren't using it yourself, you can't print
out
a copy for a friend. You could put it on a CD though and give that to
them..." is essentially what he's saying. Stiff.

Thanks for the resource; gonna be a lot more useful to me than just with
LRP. I be in the market for a new job. =)

Yep, that is just about the nastiest licence, the Linux Documentation
Project agreed.  I first found ver3 there.  When I stumbled across it on
sourceforge (with the new license) I mentioned it on the LDP list.  They
about choked.  :)

In any case the pulled it off their site, but when they contacted the
author, he plans on changing the license when he is done.  His main concern
is that no one starts using it as training material till it's done.  He also
has a publishing deal, though he hopes to release it in an electronic
version after it's published.  

I got distracted by Continuing Cert Requirements, so I need to start again
from the beginning myself.
