Rob, you are not the person that wrote "Kinda wish you...", right? So  
Henry's comments weren't directed at you? I'm just sayin'..

As for this thread, I am so like OMG, whatever, dude. Seriously.

Do we need a separate list for licensing issues and amateur lawyer-ball?  
Because when it comes to legal opinions and forming license policy, I am  
not believing a word I read on this list. Some people may be right, some  
most certainly are not, but this is definitely not the forum for the  
discussion. Perhaps people interpret the word "questions" differently.  
Basically Theo did some bald-faced trolling -- in jest, mind you -- on a  
separate list, and that got imported to this list for more trollish fun.  
Enjoy.
