Hmm...
"Linux" is a word that means a specific things, and has a committe that
maintains tight control over what it is... and yet it's open.
Why? Because ANYONE can take it, copy it, modify it, and *slap their own
name on it* and it's cool.
Hmm...
What if we had a "Dunandralis TM license" that provided use of *EVERYTING*
Dunandarlis... but if you modify it and distribute it, you have to change
the name slightly. "Bloody Dunandralis" or somesuch.
Hmm... Oh, the possibilities.
