Dan believes you don't need a special license to do many of the normal
things with his software. He says so on his web site. He's been
relatively unwilling to spend any time arranging any other
distribution terms. So, if you don't find a statement on his web site
adequate, or you don't find the *content* of that statement
satisfactory, you may not be able to arrange it. (Of course, I don't
say you shouldn't *try*; I'm just reporting what I've heard in earlier
go-rounds.)
