I don't really understand this. Do you want to rewrite Dia in VB? Or do you want to turn the Dia code into a COM component usable from VB? You're of course free to write whatever you want in VB, but if you chose to use and modify the Dia code you must follow the pretty strict GPL license it is distributed under. Basically, all code that links to it must be licensed under the GPL. Also, I cannot personally relicense the Dia code under another license, since I'm not the only copyright holder. Not that I'd want to anyway. / Alex
