Still re floatflt. I missed this point the first time around:
And later, when it says "you may incorporate the code from these
files in other files", it still doesn't give you permission to
_modify_ the code that you are incorporating in other files,
That is a good point, but I think it is still finessable. The license
gives you permission to import, say, bytes 100-200 from floatflt.*. You
can put whatever you want around it. If you need to modify something at
byte 150, fine, then consider that you have imported bytes 100-149, and
151-200.
Again, I don't expect you or your lawyers to change their minds. These
are not legal arguments. But I hope you can agree that it is not
completely indefensible for me to consider the license free as it
stands. TL remains as license-paranoid as ever.
And again, we all agree it would surely be much better for floatflt to
change to a known license.
