My opinion remains essentially the same, but I'm more inclined now to use
the Creative Commons Attribution License instead, because it's mroe
accessible to your average person (and because we can embed a link to the

That was actually the first tagline for the site off the top of my head, and
I'd like to take this chance to "formally" (inasmuch as all the usual
suspects are here on the list) propose something: "Open Source" is also not

modified to "The free guide to London", as in beer and speech. I can write a
page to explain that if need be.
