I would also appreciate having a copy of them to try.

The things that I needed to change were as follows: No your changes are NOT GPL if you don't want them to be. Please mark your changes as being under the LO MPL licence. Okay, the resultant file can only be *distributed* under the GPL, but if somebody then rewrites the GPL stuff out, the file will change to LO licence. (Legal stuff - you are the author, you licence your stuff however you like. But the resulting file must be distributed in a matter compatible with *all* the relevant licences, which means if your choice of licence is not GPL-compatible, the resultant file cannot be distributed.) > > 1.

It'll be interesting to at least know what it does ... :-) I was going to write up my typical "reveal codes" workflow, but the thread seemed to die a death and I thought "draco dormiens non titillandus" was a good idea ... :-) Let me know if you want me to do so.
