You might have a problem, the code is NOT under a GPL, I think you have to ask Darren Reed for permission, even then the lack of the GPL might stop the Linux crowd from incorporation.
IMHO: A head's up to list members I also think I should mention this also, the last time "licensing" came up(bsd problem last time), A holy war broke out and caused Darren Reed allot of hart burn, something along the lines of:: "No good deed should go unpunished", the tone became hostile to Darren and not very respectful for a nice guy who has given years writing and supporting the code. Think "Why do I needs this Sh*T". Please remember he is a nice guy, it is his code, he cares for it like a child he raised and he is doing this out of the goodness of his hart. Please be mindful about offending him and a religious zeal is not an excuse.
