I'm a member of Licensing Working Group... I haven't followed this
whole thread yet, but if there is a mistake it is a cocked up, not
malicious. We only recently sent CT 1.2 to legal for their review,
nothing back yet AFAIK... We're only human, but legal has lawyers! ;-)
I'll raise this thread at our next meeting on Tuesday.
