Go to doctor, Hyman. A psychiatrist will have a good time trying to find
a medicine for you while listing to your explanation of "covered work"
and "works based on the covered work" in the context of Apache's
"Derivative Works" somehow affecting (according to you) the preexisting
material licensed and sublicensable under the Apache Licence and only
