"Everything will remain the same except for the much-despised GPL, which  
will be replaced by the MSGPL. All GPL references with disparaging remarks  
about The Company have been removed. No decision has been made regarding  
transferring all open source software to The Company. Thank you for your  
continuing contributions to the art of computer science as typified by The  
Company."
