    ... etc.

    Yah, we were hoping ourselves that this license would be reason enough...
    But xerox's lawyers aren't ready to say that *they* approved this piece of
    software for distribution, or approved that license agreement. They said
    explicitly that pavel didn't have the authority to speak on behalf of xerox
    on this matter, if it's the case that he added this license onto his code
    himself.

    BTW: To everyone, if this isn't the best place to talk about this aspect of
    lambda, then some of us can take it offline or something -- but I'm
    beginning to think that it's curious that despite how many of us there are
    running MOOs, none of us are actually sure that we have permission to use
    them for our various needs... I think it would be a real boon to get this
    sorted out once and for all, even if it means paying xerox a fee for
    commercial use, or going through a formal registration process, etc.
