I was one of those who came down hard on the first draft of Rune's policy
for his particle system, and I still bristle at "no commercial use"
provisions on some code. But then I realized that there would be some uses
of my code that I'd not like either.  And I do dream of being "prior art"
that prevents a company from getting an abusively over-reaching patent on
something (rather than they steal from me, per se.)

The purpose of my note was to find a middle ground between "no commercial
use" and something on the other extreme.  Right now, I'm like the guy with a
leaky boat who goes fishing every other weekend but dreams of becoming a
commercial fisherman.  I am thinking about uploading some images to zazzle
and so have been avoiding code with these provisions.
