I'm sorry, but the [L]GPL incompatibility couldn't be more unambiguous:
1. Choice of law restrictions, choice of venue restrictions, and poison
pills are widely understood to be incompatible with the [L]GPL.
2. A distributor of an implementation of SenderID would
have no way of allowing all recipients to modify and further
redistribute that implementation, which means that it simply
can't be [L]GPL compatible.
It's too bad the mxcomp list restricted discussion of licensing issues
before yesterday's deadline. I truly believe we could have ended up
with a licensing solution that everyone could have been pleased as punch
about.
