The only way I see to "fix" this is to totally close off access to the
source code.  People will see only RELEASE's and that is all they will
know about.. so ignorance *is* blitz.  So who is up for turning off the
CVSup servers?

Face it people -- if the source to any project is completely open, you
have to understand how it is treated (ie, terms etc..) internally.  It
was no different when I worked at HP.
