Nice catch, Nate. I just wonder how long I looked at all that files without seeeing and realizing it.
It seems the problem exists in all source files. I had a look in the oldest version I could find - tlf-0.9.10 from 2003. The problem did already already exist in all that old files. I by myself have no problems to put all my work under the stricter GPL. So we need at least a statement from Rein about his opinion. 73, de Tom DL1JBE.
