So your support woes could have been worse. This is the "licence" that I use; I find the GPL to be far too restrictive for my tastes. ----- +---------------------------------------+ |Simplified BSD Licence (patent pending)| +---------------------------------------+ Do what the hell you like with this stuff, but don't pretend that you wrote it or remove this notice, OK? Otherwise I *will* hunt you down and deal with you (and I have done that before). If you modify anything then have the guts to put your name to it so I know who to blame and can deflect complaints accordingly, or email me so I can incorporate your ideas (with due credit) in the next version of this fine suite of software; fame could be yours :-) Continued use of this software may or may not result in the agonising death of all small furry animals within a 100ft radius, so use at own risk; I cannot accept any responsibility for any animal-welfare group kicking down the door in the middle of the night and dragging you off to be vivisected with a rusty razor blade.
