Except for one small thing.  Jay, while he is a Red Hat employee, is not 
a lawyer, and cannot speak for Red Hat's legal department.  Taking his 
word, and putting it forth as the gospel is _not_ the right thing to 
do, and will most likely drive any other Red Hat fellow away from ever 
posting anything to a public mailing list.  Jay offered his opinion, 
nothing more.

But yes, we do appreciate Jay commenting on the issue (:
