I mailed this response and am posting it here too:

I realize that a number of organizations may distribute zoo 2.x only if
they modify their own policies slightly.  For example, zoo files could
be placed on a separate disk or in a separate downloading area which is
not covered by any compilation copyright.

I have seen a lot of flaming, but few specific arguments.  I want
genuine, specific feedback about why conforming to my restrictions
would be a hardship to any organization, and to which organizations in
particular.  I'm open to well-reasoned arguments.
