Point him to Groklaw, then ask Bogey to _explicitly_ license his Concorde to us under the GPL.

Unfortunately, > I do neither know his/her real name, nor an email address. ..you can reach him thru the Blender forum? Ask him. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
