It's not what the lawyer thinks he's referring to, or what MIT says long 
after the fact that its license really means that really counts. We're 
talking about a well-accepted legal doctrine. While you are correct in 
arguing that courts can make ill-informed rulings, in general we have a 
higher court to appeal to when that happens. It worked last time.

     Thanks
