Alfred replied to a private email from me continuing the offtopic 
elements of this discussion to say that I was being too hostile for 
him to reply. I therefore assume he is trolling and I will not 
continue this thread on a public forum with him.

Shame, as judging from the last post of his I clearly rattled him. Ah 
well, c'est la vie! If anyone wants more on my views on the more 
popular free software licenses, I have an outdated but still useful 
page at http://www.nedprod.com/programs/definition.html. Y'all be 
happy!

Cheers,
