I'm not sure if there's much to "steal" in the case of [initbang] (I don't like the word BTW. in the open source world you shouldn't have to "steal" things). but I'm wondering: how can one reimplement [initbang] and publish it under a different, more permissive license? basically it's just an API call and a version check... there's not much to do differently. shall [initbang] therefore always be GPL?
