usage or relicensing under this License. Your terms may be written

And that is just one of the things I find to be insane /
unreasonable / fascist with the license. There are many more parts
which made my jaw drop.
What's wrong with the above exactly? "you may include your own
terms .... as long as those terms permit all .. that this License
permits". Seems fine to me.
It says that it's ok to include stuff that uses another license,
but the end result is that everything is magically transformed to GPL
stuff.
It's still the same one way street.
NB: I am also [EMAIL PROTECTED], but I speak for myself. :) I'm
also [EMAIL PROTECTED], to give you an idea of where my
software-licensing compass might point.
Yepp, you sure have your GPL googles on, it's pretty obvious.
