Yes I am. Three quick comments. 1. Feel free to ask Eric about this. That was his code, and SourceGear currently holds the copyright on it. 2. I personally dislike the whole "abandonware" approach to licensing software, where you change the license on code you don't want to maintain in hopes that someone else will do so for you. That rarely works. 3. However, if someone showed up who actually wanted the code, that'd probably be more interesting. Just my 3 cents, Paul
