This brings up a point that is of concern to me. Some parts* of the
Epoch code contain an escape clause designed to allow me to reuse the
code in commercial products, without those products being under the
GPL. Such use would have no effect on Epoch, except that I might not
work on it anymore. I really couldn't care less what anyone else does
with my released code, but if _I_ can't use it for _whatever I want_,
then I'm not going to release it.
* Those parts written entirely by me, not based on any GNU source,
such as the X defaults processing code.
