Jon, Is this my queue to add the associated notices to all of the source code? Or will someone else take care of that? If so, just let me know which files should be exempted of the GPL notice, and I'll apply it to the rest. Otherwise, go ahead and take care of it. A final question remains if there is to be any modification to the source files that does not affect the compiled binaries: should we publish the new code in a release tarball, or should we leave it for the 1.0 release? Regards, Hasan May God shower His peace and blessings unto you. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jon Rifkin <jon...@uc...> Date: Sunday, December 28, 2003 3:25 pm Subject: Re: [Ipaudit-devel] merry christmas and a happy new website > > > The project itself I believe is owned by Jon Rifkin.
