Viral licenses are called viral for a reason. If you have to remove 
something it is always good to do so before it has infected a lot of 
other things.

Or more practical, if someone draws the basic road grid for a city in a 
day and you remove it BEFORE everyone else has built on top of that, you 
lose only a day's work; if you remove it half a year later (and remove 
everything that can be said to be derived from it), then you might lose 
a lot more.

Bye
Frederik
