I know what you mean William, but what I'm trying to do is to read the
original paper and try to develop something on this open paper. After it,
anyone could say that I'm doing a derivate work, because I never have any
think related with the original code. The only time that I could what to
check the original code, could be if I have doubts on something .. but if
this software in on GAP. I'm not an expert,but if GAP is GPL it can't
contain propietary software, is this ok?. On the other hand, could we
speak with the author and comment it, what do you think?

Regards,

Pere
