I'm beginning to agree.

Let's you (the Usenet user) and me make a deal.  If you will vote at
least 2 to 1 in favor of using zoo rather than arc for
comp.binaries.ibm.pc, I will drop all distribution restrictions on all
versions of zoo, with the minor exceptions that (a) nothing
incompatible be created from my code and (b) source be made available
for any binaries distributed unless I agree otherwise.
