It should be noted that I chose a MIT/2-clause BSD-style license for Niwt, so any sharing would necessarily be one-directional (towards Wget, not the other direction), much as it has been for the Curl project. (I am a believer in the GPL; however, in a project made up almost entirely of small, trivially-rewritten programs, a BSD-style license made the most sense to me. If someone wants to redistribute a version where one component had to link against proprietary code, I didn't see any value in restricting that, since they could simply write a replacement in most cases within days. Likewise, should anyone distribute improvements without source code, it wouldn't take long to reimplement them.) -mjc
