Hi Bruce and all,

Thanks for the Cc: and for noticing the fixes!

To be fair, Paul DuBois and Andrey Stroganov did the actual work - I
only did some pointing and grunting. I am not sure that we have removed
everything yet - I still need to do a full sweep of the docs. In any
case, this is a good start

Also, I noticed the long GPL/MySQL related thread on [GENERAL]. It
looked like there are some good points in the discussion. Once I get
some other licensing-related issues taken care up, I will take a look
at cleaning up the licensing overview docs that were mentioned and
critiqued.

Cheers!
