I was, or it maybe still says so in some Makefiles/cpp:s/h:s, got to check
up on that.

I know. But, it will take a while before commercial devlopers want to use
PP. It has to contain something first, and then mature a little bit. So,
until that happens I really think that whatever license which allows
people on the net to tinker with PP is fine.

Personally I think efforts should spent be on planning, developing,
coding, testing and building samples, _not_ discussing a future license.
