;;;; The completed text of the software licence must be executable

;;;; as a Common Lisp program, as standardized by ANSI X3J13, with

;;;; preference given to subsequent standards that require signals

;;;; of the CL:SIMPLE-WARNING type to be raised both when the code

;;;; references deprecated symbols for any purpose whatsoever, ...



;;;; THE PURPOSE for which LAGP must expose this licence is:

;;;;

;;;;   Reduce the net worth floor for Accredited Investors,

;;;;   preferably without compromising upon LAGP's PURPOSE.

;;;;

;;;; END PURPOSE



;;;; If you are concerned about the legal uncertainty imposed by

;;;; the contents of this file, please ask your lawyer to recom-

;;;; -mend both a medication, and both a licenced psychiatrist,

;;;; and a dealer in generic pharmaceuticals, such as ethanol,

;;;; nitrous oxide, diethyl ether, and ocean waves cresting.



;;; As an experiment, I will respond here as though the disabling of

;;; quote-and-reply has been enacted; and since this will have been my

;;; first post in the forum, it will contain more than a fair share of

;;; my own history.

;;;

;;; Several times in the above conversation, distaste was expressed

;;; about a twist taken by the author of the article under discussion:

;;; that of introducing distributed ledgers as an eleventh-hour

;;; samaritan for the free software community. Although I personally

;;; share in the skepticism about that viewpoint, my own perspective

;;; is possibly quite different from that of the above posters: I have

;;; most of my (rather embarassing) net worth in one currency, and

;;; let's just say that it's not one managed by a registered

;;; foundation; however, the past decade has done almost nothing other

;;; than teach me, by example, about the problems that emerge when

;;; technologies are heaped skywards without consideration of

;;; fundamental principles, a situation quite reminiscent of that

;;; fable, The Tower of Babylon.

;;;

;;; You may wonder why anyone, who claims a decade of experience with

;;; the latest tech bubble, still cares about software licensing; and

;;; in my case, the probable answer of programming being fun is sadly

;;; incorrect. Maybe programming could be fun, in an enlightened world

;;; where the Zeroth Law of Robotics took precedent over the fashion

;;; to glamorise disruption, yet that is not the world in which I

;;; program, and possibly not yours, either. I only arrived at this

;;; forum due to having recently begun a search for a license more

;;; appropriate for my own project; to the great consternation of the

;;; copyleft advocates, a chore that rapidly ceased to be a selection

;;; from an endless menu of existing texts, and became a blank file,

;;; waiting for my own words.
