Hello, I did not get any reply concerning that licensing issue on the ML. Therefore, I did send an email to HV. I had a look at the Twiki, to get some information about its licence. It's written at the bottom of each page: "Copyright © by the contributing authors. All material on this collaboration platform is the property of the contributing authors." Erm... That's no good... :-/ Alex, could you please give us your opinion about the Twiki/Cinelerra contents?
