 This is another strong argument for the BSD-style license, in which 
 the author truly DOES make the program usable by anyone without 
 onerous resrictions. 
 
"Another"? This is the same argument that you've raised, here and in   
the InfoWorld Electric fora, too many times to count. The restrictions   
are only 'onerous' from the point of view of those wishing to use the   
code freely released by others, for their own proprietary purposes.  
 
I urge you to release all of your doubtless innovative and creative   
programs under that license, and have the grace and courtesy to grant   
the same freedom of choice to others.
