Sorry, but I don't get the point of your question.
Thanks. See below: On Wed, Aug 23, 2006 at 06:52:26PM +0800, imacat wrote: > I'm not a skilled C/XS programmer, or I would consider taking over > them. Can anybody have advice on this issue? The author made these modules available to you for free. So any support you get is a bonus. In addition, the author has made the source code available to you for free. This means that you are not reliant on him/her for support - you have more options: * Fix the modules yourself * Employ someone to fix the modules for you Given that you have said that you do not currently have the skills to fix these modules, your choices seem to be learn the skills, or employ someone. You seem to be assuming that someone owes you a fix for these modules. For free. I'm not sure why you are assuming this. This is why I asked you what was not "right". From your answer what seems to be not "right" is the modules do not continue to be maintained for free in perpetuity. Nicholas Clark
