Look, open source is great and all, but please don't limit these scripts
to "free" uses as the polluting GPL does. Please consider a BSD or Apple
style license that allows the mods to be used in for-pay work. My
employers refuse to allow the use of any GPL code because they like
getting paid back for the labor they underwrite. I'd like to get more
work done by using Apple Mods, either under the public domain (as I'd
wager they legally are without an explicit GPL statement) or under a
BSD-derived license.
