Sorry about this, but this is one of my largest grammar annoyances! I noticed that the releases page uses "license" as a noun, which is a rather crass Americanism. In English the noun form should be "licence" with a verb form of "license" (e.g. It is released under the GPL licence, but it is licensed by retrosoftware). The American dialect uses "license" in both forms. Just call me a pedant and grumpy for pointing this out. |

My wife is a Hungarian and a linguist and she always picks me up on this. She tells me to think of "advice and advise"... |
