I assume the "password protected" refers to the kind of password protection that hides scripts and encrypts the file on the hard drive. Does this also exclude the kind of roll-your-own password protection involved in scripting an "ask password" routine on openstack (I know that this is actually not much protection except from casual hacking attempts)? Will the GPL engine continue to have an "ask password" command, or will this be taken out? -- Peter Peter M.
