I have always told people who didn't like my choice of Saxon license that

(a) I can't change it, and
(b) if they don't want to use the software they don't have to

I now have a third answer for these people - they can buy a license. Oddly,
once people are paying they are prepared to accept much more restrictive
conditions on what they can do with the software. But I'm happy to take
their money.

I think some people have a problem with free software - they think there
must be a catch, and they devote vast amounts of legal time to finding it.
My advice is: either ignore them, or let them pay.
