And we choose not to provide you with our software, except on the terms
that we find best protect it.  We are very serious in this business, and
have had more to do with the threats, protections and realities around
GPL'ed software than many other projects.  We choose this licence for
good reason, and after wide consultation. 

If others cannot come to licence their software under the GPL version 2
or later (at your option), a long and respected option for free software
licencing, then we respect their choice, and kindly ask that they
respect ours.
