They seem ok with it.. I don't really feel we ought to include their email addresses, or really make too much noise about it.. Something simple and to the point. > Cheers, > aj, who wonders if SPI are willing to shell out for a beer or two > for things like this, and who thinks they should be. :) As far as being 'happy' about it.. well, it's nice that it's cleared up, but.. I don't think we changed much other than some licensing details. This software wasn't intended to be non-free... If anything, I'm happy to put this behind me and get on with other things. I think it's more of an honest "victory" when something that isn't free becomes free. In any case, I'm glad this has been resolved, and that I dont have to pester Sandrof and Rollo anymore:-) Ciao, -- David Welton http://www.efn.org/~davidw Debian GNU/Linux - www.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
