Pointless?
Why did they set up the BSD Clause in the first place if discussing the
worst case scenario is pointless?

Other options have been...... "exhausted" ?
You want to wait until we've been handed multiple PR-approved articles that
are pages in length and say little more than nothing? Only after that can
we hold this discussion?

ITT:
-Discussions on what to do next (it's hardly 'speculation' that Nokia's
going under/being bought out. the only thing to speculate on is WHEN)
-Crying
-Internet police

Talk to a moderator, see if I give a frack (what does that even mean? are
you going to pretend that alias' aren't dirt cheap and proxies don't exist?)

Sorry for a second I thought this was the internet, not group therapy

Thiago: didn't you say you weren't going to talk to me until I publicly
apologized (*cough*Internet Police*cough*)? I believe that makes you a liar
:-P.

p.s. Lars didn't respond <3
