There's something here I need to understand.
Is it the engineering decisions, or the manner
of expression, of synthespian, that you find
"arrogant"?  I agree that to write of "Win-
drones" doesn't communicate respect and
compassion.  On the other hand, perhaps
synthespian is accustomed to hearing such
rubrics among the colleagues with whom he's
most comfortable.  Perhaps English is a
second language for him, and his words don't
ring in his ears with the same harshness you
apparently hear.

So:  synthespian:  others have already refer-
red you to the exact py2exe license.  I hope
you and your end-users find satisfaction with
it.  Good luck improving the nutrition of
your patients.
