License Agreement Entitlement Query

[Steve Litt]

I wouldn't suggest replying to these guys. They're trying to put the LyX
project in the role of their lawyer, without payment. Personally, I
think the GPL2 is clear enough for me to stake my business on, but if
they have questions, they can hire a lawyer.

Or, if they don't like the project not acting as their lawyer, they can
start using a proprietary substitute, and REALLY start paying lawyers.
