I would not do a website for any of those, however I would never
restrict the freedom of others to do so using anything I have written.

Correction - _LEGAL_ reasons.

An acquintance of mine is happilly using his prayer rug right next to
his desk when he feels like it. If you need a special place why the
company has to provide you with it? Besides, you are forgetting that a
lot of companies now are "built on Christian beliefs" and morning
prayer is part of the routine. All in all, I think your knowledge of
how things are in U.S. is based on European newspapers rather than on
personal experience.

I think the point has already been made that this request may
contradict GPL if not in letter then in spirit.

Second, you are asking me to tolerate Kasper's intolerance and this
may make sence for a Christian (who I thought were bound to tolerate
everything withough complaining and judging the others), sorry, wrong
address here.
