Both the one that sparked the Vogon/Turlette arguments, and the actual legal
issue that underlies the whole thing. If we can get rid of the legality
problem, then there will no longer be a need for the Vogon, Turlette,
Pirate, and Anti-Pirate classifications.

Benefits?

1. All Apple 2 paraphernalia becomes public domain
2. We(the A2 community) get to move on to better discussions
3. We gain complete control of the A2 system and get to do as we please with
it.
4. No more Vogon based insults from QC
5. No more "pule" or blah" from Paul
6. A remote but better chance of seeing Dave Empson and others like him come
back.
7. ...
