Hi, John and Feng Huang, It's glad to see the interests on this "old" topic.
Sorry, I forgot to update the info about relicense of ccal(at least part for chinese calendar date calculate). My change is in http://code.google.com/p/kcalendar/source/browse/trunk/README Yes, I also updated the link for ccal in it. But that is not a big issue, at least I think at that time. All my code should be redesign or rewrite in a good way, but I am not expert on it.
