# It is, but of course we should instead use a function that writes no more
# than the output buffer size. Such as the msnprintf().
Very good point.
# If we would have this discussion, I think we should just try to put pros and
# cons with a bunch of licenses side by side and then have some kind of vote
# among the code submitters (where each submitter of course can veto against
# having their source code licensed to something they don't agree with). In my
# eyes there are only 3-4 licenses to discuss: GPL, LGPL, MPL and BSD. This
# question is one of those religious ones and I don't like talking religion.
While this might be an important debate to have at some point, I'd rather
not have it now as I am focusing on the release testing.
I agree with Daniel that the sources should be *really* free for all to use
as they see fit but I cannot take the time now to properly research this to
my satisfaction. After the first of the year I can. Also note, Kevin pushed
GPL only as a means to get HP to make it available to the world. I propagated
it only because I was lazy. FWIW, in reviewing the original hypermail code,
most everything has been rewritten, command line usage, parsing, setup,
language support, html output/format, link conversions, etc.)
Now back to software improvements and testing....
