This may have had to do more with the unresolved GPL issues.  I
recently received a mail from Stallman indicating that an agreement
with CNRI has been reached; they have agreed (in principle, at least)
to specific changes to the CNRI license that will defuse the
choice-of-law clause when it is combined with GPL-licensed code "in a
non-separable way".  A glitch here is that the BeOpen license probably
has to be changed too, but I believe that that's all doable.

And who or what is Woody?
