    Re: Parts license —Jacob Sparre Andersen
   Steve: (...) [...] Ok. (...) So far ok. (...) I have a strong dislike for revokable licenses. I think this paragraph should be dropped. (...) Ok. (...) "... no further right to that contribution." (...) Ok. (...) "... license to distribute the work (...) (24 years ago, 22-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: Parts license —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) I suggested a reword for it. However I'm not sure your likes and dislikes are germane.
