Sigh. Based on what? Based on that crappy poll? You have to be kidding. The universe doesn't only consist only of PD people on this list you know. There's a ton of people who are pro-SA and they tend to be the more rational ones who can't be bothered with yet another dumb poll or to comment back whenever someone brings up some pseudo-legal argument based on their 'university of life' education. > So try to win the > battles you can win, otherwise maybe the best way forward is to ask the > users if /any fork/ could continue with PD/CC0.
