I did not mention this in my other posting, but we have actually made
deals for commercial use of the software.  In each case, the company
wrote or called, said "how can we get out of this 'no commercial use'"
restriction", and some sort of licensing arrangement was made (usually
a small (~ $20) fee per copy redistributed, proceeds to be returned to
the same useful case back at Maryland).
