To make it entirely clear: The "k" is NOT SILENT. ;-)

Pronunciation is just one of those things that wont be escaped. But within that context ... laziness is another issue.

Then the derivations will missed out on, and they can be quite rich in themselves. Which is different to a person saying "thats just how it should be". It does go beyond just the gpl bit :).
