Hi,

In case you weren't aware of this, recently someone helpfully ported the HTMLParser project to the .NET Framework (http://www.netomatix.com/Products/DocumentManagement/HTMLParserNet.aspx).

I thought you might like to know that in the source files for HTMLParser.NET, Netomatix, the company that performed the port, have claimed copyright on the source files for themselves, and have omitted any information mentioning the LGPL license under which your project is made available.

Anyway, now you know!

  Hmmmm.
  Should we pursue the LGPL spirit and maintain it is a derivative work, or abandon and copyright to ensure that "if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others"?
