Hmmm, Mark Webbink should probably give us a quick law lesson if he
has the chance.

I remember getting a quick lesson years ago by another RH counsel
about licensing.. but I have slept a lot since then, and I could be
stickign 20 things together in the wrong order. What I recall is that
there are some issues about referencing draft documents in a licensing
deal unless the items are labeled correctly and  that both items have
a clause saying that the party righting the license has the right to
change the license without notification (and party B is bound by those
changes). If not someone who licenses there stuff under a broken draft
can use it and not be covered under any fixes.
