Why wouldn't someone be allowed to use one license as a template and modify the terms?

As long as there are no contradictions, and conflicts in language are resolved, this is legal. In fact, version THREE of the GPL explicitly allows it. In version two, it's less formal, but still applies. That being said, in this case it probably won't hold up. And, this is speculation, but I would bet that the developer didn't choose language that would guarantee no conflicts.

I started down the path of specing out a new PC and ran into all of the disincentives you mentioned above. The general PC component marketplace is a cesspool. But, even after sourcing reputable parts, I find the cases themselves lacking. Front bays for blue-ray drives, audio inputs, and USB connectors? Forget it.. it's Disco lights for you, son.

Comment Did they KNOW how and or why? (Score 1) 55

Did the Romans understand that the ingredients had this self-healing effect on the concrete, or did they simply realize that by adding certain compounds, they got better results? They couldn't attest to the longevity because they didn't have the evidence that we have, namely the fact that many structures lasted over two millennia.

Were their technological advances well-understood, but lost to history? Or were their successful techniques purely empirical and simply passed down, but not fully understood?
