Chord is now finally GPL -- and so is Chordii

The last known distribution of the original CHORD program is 3.6.2 and dates from july 1995. It includes a statement that CHORD is licensed following the conditions of the general GNU license, but with some additional restrictions. These restictions formed an obstacle for Chordii to be included in official software distributions.

In december 2009 Johan finally succeeded to track down the original authors and they agreed to create a new, GPL-only release. This release is called 3.6.4 to avoid confusion with an unofficial 3.6.3 version.

Following the GPL release Chordii was rebased on the 3.6.4 version, making it officially and legally GPL.
