Well, it's awkward to deal with an extremely legacy system with the company in
bankruptcy from filing fraudulent lawsuits against open source developers. It
has a chilling effect on development and on interest from open source
developers. If Richard Stallman knew I was doing this, he'd probably rant at
me. (I've known Richard casually for over 25 years.)

But this newsgroup has been quite good: it's why I ask questions here, and
give answers when I can. It's also good to post answers in well-worded, Google
searchable format.
