So even though I'm not happy with this stuff it seems to be needed to keep *stupid* people of our lists. 
I obviously think so too, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't add some
<not legally binding>explanations</not legally bindingg> around our
additions. Also, the disambuguities and errors that Ulf pointed out
should be fixed. It seems to me that there is still need for
discussion, so I've attached a proposed change to the COPYING file
instead of just checking it in.


If we're not going to pull the extra text, then this is the way to go to
cover ourselves.  Your patch to the text looks fine.
The patch looks good to me too. Joerg, can you check it in? I'm going to get 0.99.7pre1 out tomorrow.
