Well, for a start, if I modify something under the QPL and give you a copy, I have to keep that modification *forever* in case the original author asks for a copy. Second, if I'm working on a project with my friend, then all of these bits which engage on any distribution *do* become problems: I must give the original author a copy of the "items" and a license to any modifications. -- Brian Sniffen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
