I agree ...

hence reason I'm pushing for a LGPL type license for Euphoria.
If Euphoria is released to the public domain or under a BSD type license it
allows people to use Euphoria without giving anything back.

People makig there own closed source versions of Euphoria "won't" promote 
Euphoria usage long term.
