[tor-dev] License for flash proxy software

I feel there should be a LICENSE file in the flash proxy client packages currently at http://www.bamsoftware.com/dist/flashproxy/. What is the recommended practice? Right now the files carry no license. I would be happy with anything that is free software and convenient to the Tor Project. For exam

I agree, Twisted is not a web application framework. So the question is this: do we want/need a web application framework for Onionoo? It seems like it is such a straightforward service (process one of a very few different request types, send back a JSON response) that maybe any web applicat
