Hi Dave, can you at least re-instate the project and revert to the original owner (e.g. myself "cygnum").
I got booted out while on vacation and never managed to re-gain access to it. Then I though, screw it, so I let them be. Never thought that they'd make it closed and a PAID one even! You can check the history of the project and see that it was me who moved this project to google code repository and never planned on having it closed-source.
