Thank you. While I like to consider myself at least an honorary computer
geek, I am fairly new to the "serious" side of Open Source licensing.
Our developers - most of whom *have* been involved in it for many years
- told me that they'd never seen an approach like this in an Open Source
license. I am grateful for the input of more experienced persons.

Very truly yours,
