Doh, my bad - Was a mistake, not a purposeful attempt to force 
GPL down your throats.
Its fixed now.

My designers, and developers, love this syntax - its very clean, 
and just as easy as ASP`s <% and PHP`s <? syntax.
Of course, I like it too.. since I made it...

I like this syntax; I'm in favour of adding it to a future
version of Zope (2.2.1?).

Except that your patch says it's GPLed, and GPL code cannot be
added to a ZPL product; please re-release as ZPL (I'm all in
favour of GPL, but this is not a good case for it :-) )
