Empy is more powerful, more complete, better documented, and comes
with tests and benchmarks. It does what it says, and it says what
it does. And finally, it also mentions where its own problems are
to be expected.

Ok, it's GPL, but so what? You don't have to distribute it yourself.
You could equally well prompt the user during installation to click
one more button to make her download it! Or is this already a vio-
lation of the GPL? Jerome, maybe you know that?
