Huh? We're not debating it --- no one in this thread is suggesting that
the license be changed. We're trying to formulate a FAQ entry that
will prevent people from bringing the subject up again in the future.

I think the hard part here is to word the entry to make it clear that
the decision is final, without annoying anyone so much that we end up
creating flamewars instead of preventing 'em.
