Actually, that was one of the things I was going to include in the
"About Open Source" paragraph. Since there is a subtle distinction
between "Open Source" as defined by OSI and the philosophies behind
the GPL, I thought I might also suggest changing the title of this
paragraph to "About Free Software" (or perhaps "About the GPL").

Oh, well, now that I've signed up, I guess I'd better get movin'. :)
