# Notes

* On the advice of my lawyer=2C I'm currently offering only a specific vers=
ion of
  the DPL. I probably will offer licenses under subsequent versions in the
  future=2C but I'd prefer to see how the DPL evolves and whether or not th=
e
  license stewards behind it prove trustworthy before committing to doing s=
o.

* The language "all technology companies I control" is there to avoid any
  complications with non-technology companies that I may control in the fut=
ure=2C
  e.g. family real-estate holding companies=2C and the non-profit caving gr=
oup
  I'm a part of. To my knowledge=2C I only control one company as of writin=
g=2C the
  numbered company I do all my consulting through=3B I consider that compan=
y a
  "technology company"=2C and thus the above offer applies to it.

* Equally=2C if by some stroke of luck I do end up in control of any other
  technology companies - maybe Bill Gate's blockchain smart-contract will
  mysteriously gives me control of Microsoft - then the above offer will ap=
ply.
