If VPRI would also promise to indemnify any derivative work by setting up a
legal defense fund, this would be one possibility.  I mean, the real purpose
of any license is to have something to help you in court.  And money goes a
long ways. :)

However, I can't imagine any shareholder that would approve such a deal,
unless there was a good business case.

That said, I haven't asked anyone at VPRI.  I would just be surprised.
