Let me just state this for the record: I find copyright paranoia and associated acts, such as this very thread with 59 (and counting!) messages absurd, ridiculous and a complete waste of time.
We note that you have spoken.
Alas, the other 153 people who own copyright in the code in question haven't and, no offense, Jack, assuming they will have the same outlook you do -- when it's on the record that developers' opinions on this range to both ends -- is probably not a safe enough bet for the foundation.
Jack is not alone. The amount of bikeshedding on this list has reached truly epic proportions in the last couple of weeks...to the point where I've started ignoring the vast majority of the list (and I've always been an advocate for the usefulness of this list).
