I'm not arguing this at all, that would be 'relicensing' AFAIK. My post was about changing the text of the AGPL itself. And my entire post was that I read that first clause and then thought, "WTF? Can I even make a funny blog post?" and the

LOL, WHUT? This is exactly why people like me get confused about such things. From the little reading I've done I tend toward the "copyrights sound like the solution, and everything else is a twisted interpretation of that" point of view, b

Also, on a more serious note, that was my exact argument. If I'm not allowed to make a derivative of the LICENSE DOCUMENT, how am I able to create a parody interpretation? I've said before that I would be fine with a "DERIVATIVES UNDER DIFF

So far Windows doesn't seem to be getting the same boost, so we'll see how things shake out. Though I'm more excited to hack in some other code I've already written which will avoid the JSON conversions all together.

The reason we use an embedded scripting environment is so that the control can be handled by Erlang. Its quite true that we could have an external system doing Map/Reduce a la CouchDB-Lucene but that would just increase the pain point, plus
