You can declare the International Space Station a CPS sponsored project if
it makes you happy <bg> - The point is whe this descision is made, I don't
want to stop anybody from contributing or deriving an income (from packaging
and support services etc) if thats what they want to do - and yes, anything
as restrictive as the GPL *is* out of the question.

Cheers,

Pat
