My dearest Mr. Stallman,
It has been several years since we discoursed. As I recollect it you were about to start to work in earnest on the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2.0. As we parted company I may not have told you that Google disconnected my Gmail account for some reason they never explained. Consequently, my recollection of our discourse is based on memory rather than upon the email substance.
That was during the time I was writing under the pen name “Wyl Newland”. I had sent you and Mr. Moglen a copy of my Time Investor Pool (TIP™) patent application I had filed. A shared it with you as proof that I had actually filed it and, therefore, I could offer to the Free Software Foundation (FSF) to bifurcate my patent rights into two streams: 1) a royalty free license for all software under the GPL and 2) all other commercial rights retained by me or my corporation.
These last two years have been busy for me but I did complete the License we discussed. This letter series brings you up to date on all things, beginning with the License
. . . The Peace Engine™ License . . .
The Peace Engine™ License operates simply:
1) the Mark of the license shall be named “the line segment withing the circle”, “the multiplicative identity (x = one times x) inside the additive identity (x = zero plus x)”, “digit one inside of zero”, “letter I inside of letter O”, and other similar meaningful descriptions of the Mark depicted below.

When the Mark (the Peace Engine™ License Mark) is affixed upon the Work by its Creator (Author, Artist, Producer, et al), the irrevocable action defines the work according to the terms and conditions of the Peace Engine™ License, such THAT:
2) all copyright is pure copyleft
3) patent rights bifurcate with GPL’d software being royalty free and all other rights reserved
4) trademarks of information commerce emerge whenever the Mark of the License is affixed to any copyright work’s visual symbol, within or upon the work.
