Like others I made up my mind about the license change a long time ago, 
when it was first discussed. I was subscribed to legal for a long time 
as well.

I guess the people posting about this think they are making "killer 
arguments" and everyone on the list is waiting with baited breath, but I 
delete them because I think they are endless arguments between a small 
group of people who will never be convinced of other people's viewpoints 
anyway.

I support SteveC in enforcing the categorizing of the mailing lists.
