Very good, I don't have any idea why I should care either.

Sorry if I seem so negative. The issue you raised is real, I
totally agree on that. I also agree with changing the text.

My problem is that I cannot judge myself whether changing the text
in any way is harmless, or whether it counts as relicensing.

Btw. the Wayland/Weston license is not exactly HPND either, HPND is
missing "sell" and "without fee".


Thanks,
