Heh, that would not likely to happen ;) I know that there are not a
little bugs in our grammar simplification and constraint check stuff,
that should be done before compact syntax improvements.

Any kind of free software license sound enough and great to me.
My actual plan is to add standalone test program (we have similar one
that downloads and uses James Clark's test collection). It won't be
"include" in our cvs, so basically I don't have to care unless the
license is too restricted.

Thanks again for your effort ;-)
