Did you read it before answering?

"As soon Vulcan enters" means future, I'm not going to port fixes right
now.
"There will be agreement upon licensing" also means future, AFAIR. Jim'
opened some issues about licensing a few days ago and I forwarded them
to FF president, Mark O'Donohue for consideration.

Ok, I'll better stay aside from this discussion because it looks like
some people developed inadequate reactions to my writings.
