*That*  will be difficult. I thought it's more accurate to say "Try to
ensure that users of the data contribute back any improvements they make".
People continue to find loopholes in the tax code even though it has been
amended 16,000 times. Yet our license must last for more than a decade...

"According to the poll, 40% of the community likes PD and 56% like SA.
I expect most people won't have read up on the issues involved - such
is to be expected of true democracies."

Are you sure it's not rigged ?
