Joe, One of the beauties of OpenSource is that you can do pretty much what you want with the code.
What is stopping you from taking the opensrs-sf code base, applying your patches, and starting another SF project? Then just post updates on your progress to the dev list. The fact that OpenSRS has a published API spec, plus the fact that you already seem to know a fair amount about the existing Perl code, should make this a pretty easy task. Just a thought ... and my last comment on this subject. I use PHP anyway. :) - Colin
