*grin* After realizing that
the thing that had given me the shivers was the AGPL, and the rest of what I'd heard was just rumor and conjecture, I'd already decided to do just that.
The only reason I continued the discussion, really, was that the idea that running=distribution really bothered me; with that change in definition, then the GPLv2 becomes what I fear.
Again, the reason I fear it is NOT because it's immoral, illegal or anything like that, just that I would like to see a lot more developers employed, and customising GPLed software by non ISVs would (IMO) trigger just that. I'd like to see the GPL as the instrument that 'saves' the industry (in particular I'd have a lot of fun rubbing the 'Glass-types' noses in it... *chuckle*).
I agree that 'wait and see' is definately more appropriate, though.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning, As hopeless as it seems in the middle, Or as finished as it seems in the end.
