Incredible!  And I thought net.people were incapable of compromise.
I sincerely apologize for my earlier derogatory statements to you,
Brad.  Actually, I think we all owe Brad an apology.

This is the first time that I've ever seen a net war let to anything
constructive.  Maybe it will set a precendent.

I do have a nit with the new copyright:

=You can copy and distribute the rec.humor.funny stream/collection in whole or
=in part in electronic form, as long as you don't try to make money off it,
=or pretend that you are the one who put it together.

This still leaves USENET resellers out in the cold.  Rephrasing can correct
that.
