I just read about Enthought for the first time the other day.  It
seems that Enthought and ActiveState do similar things.

Would it be against Enthought's license for me to pay the annual fee,
download the egg, modify it in some way, and then make it freely
available?  I read the applicable part of the license and it sounds
like if I modify the egg for my own use, then after the license
terminates I can still keep and distribute the modified copy.  I don't
want to violate the spirit of their license, so maybe this isn't
kosher, but I'd also like to avoid duplication of effort! :)

Right -- by pointing explicitly to where the egg file can be found, correct?

Thanks very much for the offer of help -- if my above license hack is
a no-go, then I'll probably see you on IRC.
