Aloha Andreas,

I agree with you about the stupidity of the 10 line rule, and I  
begrudge every bit of attention I have to squander on US copyright  
law.  However, if that law keeps like-minded individuals from working  
together on a free project that requires a corporate entity to  
complete long-term goals, then I think it will have achieved one of  
its core goals.  I'd hate to see that happen.

All the best,
Tom
