What a sad day....Ready such license shit... It is amazing how laywers  
polute our life.
And this will continue endlessly.

I think that we should really be  strong about code license in the  
future.
It is a question of freedom and gain of energy: we should really stick  
to MIT.

This is amazing that license have to become so technical subclassing  
vs.... interface.
I hope that the release team is really make sure that no code without  
a clear license is
introduced in the image.
