Again, FreeBSD iconv 2.x is maintained by Alexander, who hasn't had the cycles himself to devote to it, or a community around it. So, proposing a new community around it, either through the incubator with the ASL license, or still under the BSD license somewhere else (e.g. a sourceforge type location.) There are several communities who rely on the Kostantin implementation. (FWIW - he's dropped his advertising clause in a note to Alexander, but the incubator would probably wish to have something more affirmative from him.) I don't suggest we drop it from support in apr-util 1.0, but the next major point bump of apr-util. Provided it gels. FWIW - who else in this community wants to participate if such an ASL/BSD licensed iconv project grew up around the most current code for iconv? Bill
