OK, I'll think about it then.
I won't be near a computer during the christmas hollidays, so this will
be postponed to after the hollidays I think.

Please do. I'm not sure yet whether I would like this project to be
released under "GPL v.2 or later", or Affero GPL. Maybe ("Affero GPL" OR
"GPL > v.2") might be a better choice, because I really like this 2.d
section. But this would require some documentation to explain this
choice :)
