ridiculously off-topic, but:
""Homicide bomber" isn't a phrase I like at all. It's redundant. Bombing is about killing people."
not necessarily. Many of, for instance, the IRA's bombing campaigns were not intended to kill people (they provided warnings reasonably far in advance of the explosions, which they obviously would not have done if they were trying to kill people). they were about causing disruption, achieving public profile, and reminding people of the *possibility* that the bombs could be used to kill.

"Since we intend to and always intended to comply with all open source software license requirements, we are confident that the matter will be
quickly resolved ... "
If this is the case, how come it came to a lawsuit? Hopefully we can chalk their initial lack of response up to intercontinental communication issues, but why weren't they complying with the license in the first place? Oh well, this seems to be settling out amicably at least
and in reply to the above,
"Homicide bomber" isn't a phrase I like at all. It's redundant. Bombing is about killing people. The thing that separates the stereotypical cafe-bombing terrorist's technique from that of someone in a bomber plane is that the terrorist is committing suicide.
