Hello List,
A political question if I may.

What to do if you wish to use the code of some GPL'ed project hosted
on sf.net but the project is dead? Do you fork the project for your
own code, or do you start maintaining two different projects?

More specifically - I would like to use DAXFi which has been dead for
5 years now. It looks good and it will pretty much fit the bill (if it
works). Now, if I decide to use it I will probably custom fit it for
own purposes, leaving only the XML core logic.

How should I approach this? Should I contact the developer and ask his
permission to do so? Should I simply inform him that I will be forking
his code?

What have you done in a similar occasions?


Thanks, and good week to all.
Maxim.
