Certainly.

Keyphrene.com's code I think I merged by diffing their  
"Org.keyphrene" package. You do have to dig down quite a bit, sadly,  
to find out it's the same codebase underneath, merged with various  
other projects.

Close examination reveals it includes "mxTidy", for instance,  
although the copyright notice is only presevred in the mxTidy.c file.  
(I assume it *is* compatible with LGPL, right?)
