DoubleMetaphone also seems to be a port of CPAN Test-DoubleMetaphone-0.05. So, I think both of Kyle's contributions are covered under artistic license.

We do intend to modify the code. -------- Tim O'Brien > -----Original Message----- > From: Henri Yandell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 10:09 AM > To: Jakarta Commons Developers List > Cc: 'Kyle R .
