I didn't get your last mail either, Fuji, but the link is okay.  I=20
downloaded and compiled it.  Works fine.
I think it is a good starting point to have this code and look how MVC=20
works in a practical, not too large, application.  However Nanodesigner=20
is a lot more complex.  I will write a bit more about it tomorrow.

The rules of GNU/GPL are not difficult.  You can use GPL code but you=20
have to keep the original copyright in place and you have to keep the=20
name of the author in place also.  You can change the code and add your=20
name and point out the changes you made, no problem there.  You also=20
have to keep it in the original package I think.
Obviously if you use somebody elses GPL code in your code, your code has=20
to be distributed under the GPL copyright also.  This is, by the way,=20
the copyright we will use.
