Hi Mark,
You are absolutely right, and I appreciate you pointing this
out in a nice way. As you have probably deduced, I'm
definitely a programmer not a lawyer. I certainly didn't
mean any offense with my own little license there. Quite
frankly, I didn't expect that this extension would get so
much attention.
Please give me about a week or so to understand the MPL and
the other OSI licenses that are out there and to get a new
version out with a new license.
Again, sorry, and thanks for your patience with someone so
new to open source,
Tony
