I recommend you find a nice person to pick you a license, like the new BSD
or X11 license, that will keep a lawyer from showing up at your door
and taking away from you everything you own.

The point is that, like it or not, authors and users of software enter
into a relationship with one another.  Those who are not aware of the
relationship they are in may have ugly suprises in store.

You don't have to care.  I'm just asking those who are interested to help.

netbsd-advocacy@netbsd.org,
as I don't know that those addresses are discussion oriented.)
