If everyone who wants to distribute ZOO gets to do so anyway, why
bother to impose the restrictions in the first place.  I wish Rahul
understood the bad P.R. those complex restrictive clauses represent.
Perhaps he ought to say all these nice words about reasonableness loud
and clear in the README file for ZOO, rather than saving the good stuff
for the tiny slice of users who read comp.sys.ibm.pc.
