       My pleasure, Jyrki!   
      
   > I will certainly use many of these, unless you object   
      
       Absolutely no objections. Anyone may use it; privately or   
   commercially doesn't matter. And if anyone wants to use it in a   
   commercial enterprise, and wants it to look like it's your own product,   
   feel free to delete my name from it and put your own name in it's place,   
   I do not mind.   
      
       I'm a firm opponent to the crazy idea of "intellectual property".   
   Every intellectual creation is almost entirely based on the work done by   
   other people, and that is certainly the case with my little unit. Maybe   
   I can claim some 5% or so as my own work, the rest comes from bits and   
   pieces that I've picked up from other people.   
      
       Software patents and other, really stupid, things like that, caused   
   by greedy corporations that do not contribute shit by themselves, will   
   only prevent humanity from developing further, and will not even benefit   
   the people that made the contributions, only the owners of the   
   corporations that have the contracts in their drawers.   
      
       No that I got that off my chest, let's proceed with the actual topic   
   of this news group. 8-)
