This is referring to our license-discuss dialogue today on how to mix 
proprietary software and GPL software together while keeping a bright 
line between the proprietary and GPL parts, such that there is no matter 
of contention that would cause a GPL licensor to bring a lawsuit.

This is taken out of context from an entirely separate discussion and 
doesn't map to the one at hand. There are many gray things in the world, 
and this should not be construed to be advice about any of them. For 
example, it is not advise to stop aspirating the gray smoke, even if 
some folks might benefit from such advice.

     Thanks

     Bruce
