I'm willing to remove the advertising clause. However, I'm not
currently willing to make a release just for that purpose (mostly
because I'm swamped and don't have the time to edit all the files).
In the interim, you can relay my formal permission for anyone who
distributes ispell to ignore the advertising clause. In truth, it is
kind of silly when I reread it. It made sense for UC, but doesn't
make sense for a small individual. That's what I get for doing a
global replace!

isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs.
