Looking at the backlog of events that led Dominick to try legal stunts 
around the GPL, I guess that the only free software licence that would 
satisfy his needs concerning Rcpp is the QPL. This way he retains 
control over the evolution of the source code.

By far not one of my favourite licences, but that's the licence he's 
been looking for all along.
