Let me rephrase. LP usage is ok (for me) if it leads to better quality. LP 
code or license wash-in is unacceptable.

After all we don't need LP. It was offered to us and I greatfully accepted it.

Doctors treat patients. We are trained not to care where you are from , what 
you possess etc. We get the job done (or else you might die while we debate) 
*but* we respect (even if it leads to death) the wishes of a patient.

that means we respect LP's choice to aks us for a BSD license but we do away 
with it if it is against the stated wish of the patient (GNUmed).

IT/IS people might sometimes be more pragmatic in their choices but otoh if 
they screw up hardly anyone dies.
