I don't know if there was a reason you chose my message in particular to
reply to, but I have no intention of discussing this, or anything else,
on a wiki.

Incidentally, if anyone's collecting votes/opinions, I'd vote "yes" for
any of GPL, BSD, PD, and "no" for any other licence I can think of.

(I am unlikely to directly contribute anything to the wiki ATM, though).
