Janos Koppany (Intland) has been in contact with me asking if they could 
partitipate and as I
understand from the discussion we had he agreeing to keep it EPL so I think 
this is just a standard
company header that went in by mistake.

He also asked if the main reposetory could be put on javaforge in the future 
since they can host
it there and it will be easier for them (is it a goof hosting site?) This I 
think will be a we a
discussion that we shall take in the future and not know.

I have asked him to push back the stuff they make in there repository and I 
hope this will happen
soon as they seem to have done some work there. And it might hinder others to 
start work in the
main repo. Currently they are treated like any other contributer in the way 
that it will probably
go into the main repo if it is good.

And I'm proud of what mercurialeclips has become and how many people uses this 
software today
last release had about 15000 downloads,(I don't know if any of them are 
index-spiders, I counted on
the .jar file). The thanx for this goes mostly to all that contributers as I 
should never been
able to take it this far myself just look at the number of commits by me and by 
others at ohloh:

This is obvius something that probably need fixing before a "main-repo"
switch can come into question or at least discussed alot to we get tired
of that discussion :)
