A good argument for *not* inventing idiosyncratic
restrictions, but rather using standard documents like
the (at this stage) very well understood GPL.
We often find sales people for other companies trying to
"scare" people into being worried about open source
software, but in these days of Linux and the open source
movement gathering real momentum, such tactics do not seem
to be successful in practice, and we have not run into
any situation where people were worried about the use of
open source software where a short conversation and
interchange of information did not entirely calm any
concerns.
