As long as you mean what I think you mean by 'public license', that's
great!  Now I can tell mantis that all he has to do is make a simple
statement, and we'll do the rest, which is a good selling point.

A minor point: is the mantis at siriusfiction.com address still good? Or
am I going to have to send an email to sales at siriusfiction.com, and a
snailmail to Sirius fiction's po box, with a request to forward to
MA-D? Or shall I do all three?
