Hi Magnus, Your take. As I said, I'll be happy to discuss relicensing with the libspf2 upstream maintainer (when there is one, that is..). As for the patch size, I believe it is copyright significant. Besides, size is not always representative of the work invested in it (writing new code is quick, but finding and hunting down bugs isn't). -- Robert Millan My spam trap is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: this address is only intended for spam harvesters.
