Please send this new definition to the compilers of my legal dictionary. What you write is arguable for the license as a while, but in no way inheres to the word itself. Interestingly there is a common law 'rule against perpetuities' due to the legal headaches they create in wills and trusts. This would probably bias a US court somewhat against a broad interpretation of the license, but then again it might also bias it against the licensor whose carelessness gave rise to the litigation in the first place. |

This one clearly shows the ambiguous definition:

> Never ceasing; continuous ; enduring; lasting; unlimited in respect of time; continuing without intermission or interval.
