[Statcvs-users] Re: StatCVS

Scott,

its an honor that other people show interest in statcvs. From my personal
point of view you can use our source for integration into BIRT without
restriction - well a reference that statcvs code has been used and what
for would be nice. But I have to ask the other members of the statcvs team
for their approval.
I sent this email CC to the statcvs mailing list. As soon as I have the
feedback from the team, I will contact you.
Keep going,
Lukasz
