It would be straightforward enough for me, or several people here for that matter, to provide a new version of the plugin including all the patches here - and hopefully maintain that as the BBC continues to change things. Triode has used the GPLv2 license for all his plugins, so it is fine to copy and modify the plugin so long as you comply with the GPLv2 conditions. Unless Triode reappears, we will need to do this before long anyway, since googlecode, where Triode has hosted all of his plugins, is due to shut down completely in February next year. Note that this also applies to the ever popular Spotify plugin. As bpa says, it is politeness to Triode (who may just happen to reappear), and just a little uneasiness with complying with those GPLv2 conditions, that is stopping me. I don't even know where it is best to host the plugin, not having done anything like that before. I see there are plugins on sourceforge, but I'm a little uneasy with their terms and conditions with respect to that GPLv2 licence. Does anyone have any advice/experience of these things? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ utgg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40900 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
