The main issue here is simply that I don't _necessarily_ want to distribute source code to the application. (Of course, if the code remains largely PHP, I'll essentially be doing that anyway.) I don't want the decision to be pre-made just by interacting with other software. --=20 Paul. mailto:paulh@logicsquad.net --jRdC2OsRnuV8iIl8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAeezn730Z/jysbzIRAj0zAKCCtfnZN1jNiW4KrTzyNIgRRUsuXQCdEmSD wqonxbRFi8nxf7s7WhdYZhQ= =yYxv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --jRdC2OsRnuV8iIl8--
