Hmm, doesn't sound too great. I gave the licence a quick look before deciding 
to go for it and I didn't think it'd interfere with anything else I was doing 
though (other than in the possible "Windows gets confused as to which drivers 
are even compatible" problems I had even with my own driver), what did you see 
to be a problem? Perhaps I shouldn't post the letter tomorrow.

Hmm, doesn't sound like it's too great at all...
