At some point we were ready to do it, me and Derek (we thought it was already a GNU project). But there are other authors that would be much harder to reach. Other authors seem to be Lionel Cons, Karl Berry ;-), Olaf Bachmann, Adrian Aichner, Karl Heinz Marbaise and maybe (but don't know if they really hold some copyright on the current code since I rewrote a big part of the code) Eric Sunshine, Peter Moulder, Eric Marsden, Ville Skytta, Richard Y. Kim. I think that Adrian Aichner, Karl Heinz Marbaise, Ville Skytta are not hard to reach but for others, I don't know. If I recall well Lionel Cons already sent his assignement. -- Pat
