Hello Edgar, Feel free to modify the license as required by the project. I wrote the plugin management code while at latlon but it had not been paid for or funded by them in any form. As far as I'm concerned, it's my code which I'm hereby donating to the project. Just please make sure you keep my authorship ;-) The plugin manager did work at some time, requiring a simple web server to serve plugin jars.
