I have seen some movement on licensing, but I haven't gotten anything in around a month on it. I am thinking of pinging the author again to see what is up. I do know that he contacted all the authors and contributors recently to renounce their copyright on the source in some movement to control the BitTorrent copyright centrally. I don't think it is grounds for removal, because the old version works okay with the exception of a couple bugs. If the license never changes however I will probably focus on fixing some of those bugs myself instead of having upstream fix it. -- Michael Janssen --- Jamuraa --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
