	I think I can see where one, in the heat of the moment, might
misinterpret what I wrote below in that matter.

	I was acknowledging Chris's concerns about credit which he brought
up in his first response to (was it Tomas's message?) comments about his
new license.  What I was really hoping to convey in the second part was
that maybe various developers and users don't realize the possible 
(negative) side effects of that license which I saw as a threat.

	I did not mean to imply that the side effects I was perceiving were
intentional on Chris's part.

	By throwing this in I felt I could emphasize that I wasn't attacking
Chris personally, only his license.

Cheers,
Phil
