IANAL, but I agree. If you think this groupware is worth it, I would say
try to find others who agree (the Debian packager for a start) build a
small team and fork it. Don't forget to make much noise about the fork
on every Linux related site (send out a press release) so that you can
quickly build a _real_ community.
