This will be interesting to see how they will react.

Btw speaking of licenses, since frenck said he will be changing it by adding exceptions and making it non-free. Douglas Crockford said in one of the talks that one certain three letter company contacted him and wanted to use JSON format but weren't sure they could comply with "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil." And he gave them that exception by stating: "I thereby allow ** to use JSON for Evil". My advise to Frenck is to adopt some similar proprietary license if he wants his work not be included in distros like Fedora and Debian. And grant exceptions to his fav projects like HA /s
