Yes, that's you're personal way of dealing with opinions that you don't 
like. The next stage will be that you claim that you are evil. We all 
know that.

But how does that respond in any way to the suggestion I've made? do we 
already have numbers about mappers that are in need of a better license, 
can accept a PD license, will never want to change the license, ...

To the best of my knowledge ... no!
