Fine.  I'll take your word for it.  I wasn't jumping to anything though.  I 
was correctly pointing out, that _if_ you use licensing as a bargaining tool, 
_then_ your philosphical reasons for that license necessarily takes a back 
seat to a 'what can I get for this' mentality.

Rhys, has since stated that he is not interested in bargaining like this. 
Good for him.
