+Dear Jordi, Paul, Simon,
+
+I have no objection either, and agrees with whatever Paul decides.
+
+BTW, I just attended a lecture by Richard Stallman yesterday.  I know next
+to nothing about DRM and software licenses but after listening Richard,
+my understanding is that a "free" program (in terms of GNU philosophy)
+is indeed a program that includes some kind of viral licence (so that
+programs derived from a "free" program must remain 100% "free", and so on).
+
+Therefore I am confused with the following sentences :
+
+ > The specific problem is that you do not allow modifications of your code fo
+r
+ > commercial purposes, which according to the DFSG, makes your code
+ > non-free.
+
+Not that I insist on any kind of license, but it looks like I missed
+something :-)
+
+Regards,
+-- Norbert
