A lot of our content is not indexed in our current phpWebSite, also note that some of our content is on our SourceForge project site. If you have problems locating something please try Google site search. If that fails ask us and we'll gladly point you in the right direction. This will search our website on the SF shell for Bering. http://www.google.com/ bering site:leaf.sourceforge.net Web sites http://leaf-project.org/ VHOST for http://leaf.sourceforge.net/ SourceForge project pages http://sourceforge.net/projects/leaf CVS http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/leaf/ > Okay, I just found the developer.rtf and scanned the whole thing. Good. Did it help?

Once code is under the GPL license it can only be released under another license if all the programmers that contributed code agree to the change. You may want to look at Oxygen its code is MIT licensed. You may want to take a look at our development model. New releases/branches are welcome here.

If you feel this way, why haven't you contacted SF or the FSF? SouceForge hosts all of our content, and they only allow hosting of OSS compliant code. > If there are scripts to tar and gzip a lrp package, > why aren't they part of a tools.tgz right beside package_src.tgz and > compile_configs.tgz next to the Leaf_UML packages and extraction > instructions for odd archives?
