Ok, it kills it for you ... Duly noted.

You are making a stand on principle about not using code that has restrictions. I'm making a stand that says people should support what they use, at a minimum by contributing their changes back or by paying for the right to use it commercially. So somehow two seemingly reasonable principles are now at odds with each other. ;-0
