The final CSPL is very similar to the BSD license, where the required advertising is the text of John 3:16 from the King James Version of the Bible. The idea would be that function calls and features suggesting evil and otherwise pagan ideas would be changed. We simply do not like these words because of their connotations in different contexts. You do not have to agree, but you will not change our minds. However, because this is not a point of religious contention but of linguistics and meanings and associations, and because the solution seems like the easiest one to implement, the current plan is to provide symlinks, headers, macros, etc. In the interest of getting out a functional system, these will all wait for some future release anyway. Jesux will be here in late December (hopefully before Jesus arrives :).
We are volunteers doing this in our free time, and seek not a dime of profit, not a penny of contribution or charity. We have all been involved in open source projects for a few years, and this one is no different in that respect. It is different in that it is closer to our hearts and can possibly make a real difference in people's lives. We have been getting lots of requests about whether or not this site is a hoax. What has become of our society that it is so hard to believe that people are earnestly seeking to do good in God's name, to follow Him, and to help others through the power of the Holy Spirit? Please do keep the mail coming, but don't bother asking us if this is a hoax. We don't have time to answer such frivolous mail anymore. We still don't have time to answer all of them, but we answer what we can, and we will add you to our announcement list if you request it. We still will not bow to the media, we do not need the media, and we will succeed in providing a distribution for you. We are considering making the first distribution of Jesux as a set of patches over the most recent RedHat distribution. This will make "time-to-market" quicker, and make distribution easier, too. Many of you have requested that we post what we have, so people can start using it, and participating in the development. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;
