Also Tony Tebby himself wrote me, that you proposed Open Source. He even asked me if not the Linux model would be better, in case a different model is required. It is also absolutely clear that Tony Tebby would have allowed distribution for free. This way your proposal would have turned into something that could be vaguely understood as an Open Source license. Not because Open Source software must be free of charge, but because that would remove the need for separate commercial agreements outside your "license", and gives all authors some guarantee their code will be *available*. Open source is not only GPL, so if my GPL idea was not what Tony Tebby had in mind, this does nowhere mean that he would not have allowed Open Source. However I will wait for his answer, to see clearer. Peter
