I contacted Jens back in March 2003 regarding the GPL status of Win32::Lanman. I asked him if he would consider releasing a new version with a less restrictive licence so that the company which I'm working for can distribute it in their commercial software. He replied to say that we could use it under the Artistic License, and would change the licence paragraph in the next release, but there never was another release--the latest one that I've seen was January 2003. I haven't had any further contact with him. Steve

Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: Win32::Lanman and Perl 5.10 Oops, should have been more careful before replying. Looks like Jens's modules are all pure GPL and not "same terms as Perl". That makes me somewhat less interested in spending time on them. If you ever get a response from Jens, could you ask him if he is willing to change the licensing terms to the same as Perl (and tell him to contact me if he wants his code in the libwin32 project repository on Google, which does use the same dual Artistic/GPL license that Perl uses).

Please send me a copy of the message you sent to Jens Helberg. In case I need to get co-maintainership on CPAN for the module I need to show that Jens has been unresponsive for a while.

Sent: August 20, 2008 12:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Win32::Lanman and Perl 5.10 Microsoft has told me that the Win32-Lanman API will continue to exist in all flavors of Windows 2008. This being the case and to avoid a large amount of code rewrites, shouldn't Win32::Lanman be updated to work with Perl 5.10? I have sent email to the author, but have not received any replies to my queries. Would someone else pick this up so that it can continue to be used with the latest receive of Perl?
