I believe it would make *a lot of* sense to forward such "questions" to the people that are most likely to be able to correct them. At least some of the copyright owners seem to care about aldor being used, but I have the impression that they believe that the current license works alright. In case it helps: to *use* aldor-combinat, you actually do not necessarily need the aldor compiler. It is sufficient to have (some version of) axiom. Of course, you do need the aldor compiler to build aldor-combinat.
