:-] 

That actually was my acute fear when I read that Rober Dewar quote. It
was not my intention to trigger such a lengthy and heated discussion
on licenses (of all things), but only to get some preliminary
information (and pointers to perhaps documents which reflect license
changes) here before writing to ACT.

Obviously though, the situation is actually murky and my initial
confusion is not my fault. That's comforting. The actual situation
becomes less and less comforting, but never mind that for now.
