horrible verbal atrocities i committed, please s/david/daniel. (/me

this is a figure of speech. it probably comes from the interesting 
habit of ancient kings to execute the bringers of bad news.

what i meant to say is: daniel is trying to create a mechanism to 
deal with companies reluctant to deal with open-source developers. 
this open-source unfriendlyness is not his fault. he is only trying 
to deal with it.

if this is an insult to you, the safest way is just ignore 
everything i say.
