Sorry, been tired again. Probably just trying to take on too much.
Anyways! Yeah, let’s try to contact them. Dave did say I could use a fork but didn’t have the details handy so that may be permission from him on that front.
Without a license in the code, it means that anyone who wants to work on our version, even though we got permission, would have to ask us, Nimrod, and Dave. We can license any new code, however, but any other code, changed or original, is still without a license. I’m not sure of how retroactive relicensing works off the top of my head but Dave doesn’t seem inclined to go back to the original repo to correct the error (don’t blame him: it’s set up with CVS and the world has mostly moved on from that). So, the only code explicitly under a license currently is the GUI shell, which I’d like to swap out with GTK down the road anyways if I wind up being able to work with GTK (never tried, honestly). Yeah, things get complicated in open source world!
