But NewTen is based on UnixNPI and UnixNPI is licenced under the GPL, which is
incompatible with the BSD-style terms that John wants to release NewtSync
under. We've been through this before....
Now, I suppose I could try to relicence UnixNPI under a BSD-style licence: I
personally don't care. There's only a few other people who submitted code:
Chayim Kirshen (sp?), Richard Li of course, and two others I believe.
Shouldn't be too hard to track them down and ask.
John, do you want me to try this?
