The outlook is bleak. If you can do with software meeting historic
standards you might be ok - for seriously making money, you're out of

Open source licenses always do. Commercial licenses, funnily enough, do
too - afterall that's what you pays your money for, isn't it? If it's

but then there always is a non-free-beer option (but we just had that).
