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

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 basically agree, except that I can change the XOM license if I want. (I've been quite careful to maintain ownership of the code.)
