-	    This license is not quite as popular with us due to the
-	    amount of extra effort demanded of anyone using the code
-	    for commercial purposes, but given the sheer quantity of
-	    GPL'd code we currently require (compiler, assembler, text
-	    formatter, etc) it would be silly to refuse additional
-	    contributions under this license.  Code under the GPL also
-	    goes into a different part of the tree, that being
-	    <filename>/sys/gnu</filename> or
-	    <filename>/usr/src/gnu</filename>, and
-	    is therefore easily identifiable to anyone for whom the
-	    GPL presents a problem.</para>
