You picked a wonderful time to enter the discussion! You are correct that most of the people here, including myself, do not know of the basics, let alone the details of the various licences, requirements, and other details surrounding the this idea. In fact the majority of this thread is speculation, because that is what the community has to work with right now, speculation.
I don't expect you to explain the whole thing from your perspective (I'm a firm believer in the 'two sides to every story' thing). However, I would appreciate it, and I belive the community would too, if you could take the time to tell us where you feel that magical middle ground is. If both sides could ever pony up and meet in the middle, what "middle ground" do you envision?
I'm asking this out of curiosity's sake alone. No bashing or hero-worshipping involved. That is the fifty dollar question, "where is the middle ground?"
On a final note, I would like to thank you for taking the time to post here. Whether it is you, your brother, Bill Buck, Raquel Velasco, or any of the other "Big Guys," you all mean a lot to the community, and I appreciate the time you take to post here.
