I do not know that Bitcoin's position is any weaker because of the terms th=
at the software is licenced under.

I disagree completely with any licence change. As well as allowing for the =
use of a software, a licence is also a disclaimer for those responsible for=
 the release. Changing a single word can have drastic implications should t=
here ever be any action considered against any involved party or group. The=
 current MIT licence is IMHO the right fit.

Damian Williamson
