I am not saying that it is Jörg's fault. Just saying that arguing will end in 
a flame fest. I have seen him writing about the GPL and his more favorite 
licences before - nothing Nicolas or anybody else says will change his mind. 
And nothing he will say will change the mind of the GPL fans. 
So there will be some clash of egos and a big, fat flame war, each side 
convinced to speak the ultimate truth. No thanks.
