Well, then I guess SF and Savannah aren't accepting it. Florian noted the
license may have already been changed, and the last nightly CVS I downloaded
seems to confirm that statement. Perhaps someone should ask again?

Anyway, I already volunteered server space. It's up to people here if they
really want to use it.

I will open my anon CVS open later tonight with preliminary accounts for
anyone who offers what look like coherent patches. Just give me a yell!
Setting up a CVS patch mailing list is something else, though...

Troy, if your CTO ends up allowing you guys to set it up, I'll be able to
send you a CVS tree (.tgz format) with a few of the patches in mailing list
archives already applied.

Scott.
