Once again, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I say thank you for supplying the source code. As to packages that were not forthcoming in the past, and ONLY because you guys can't seem to leave my thank you lie still, here's a partial list of the items that were , as of quite recently, not forthcoming with source; ServiceLink 6.0 - based on Mitel SME Server (GPL) Blades: -- Fax Server Blade - based on mgetty+sendfax (GPL) -- Free/Busy Scheduling Blade - based on Mitel SME Server (GPL) -- Groupware Blade - based on Twig (GPL) -- Instant Messaging Blade - based on Jabber (GPL) -- Web Access Control Blade - based on Squidguard (GPL) And, as I said in the previous message, there were reasons given in the past as to why they were not forthcoming, but I am glad that Mitel is now releasing this source as it should do with it being in GPL. > > > If so then I can supply some details. > > You made the accusation/insinuation, so you should clarify exactly what > you have had a long wait for.

So there is nothing to explain. As I said repeatedly, I am pleased the source code is all being released. That should be welcomed and not overly critiqued. It *really* is a thank you I sent out. > > > However I am, as I stated above, thrilled that you guys are doing all > > that you can to make sure all the source is around to use in the future. > > I'm curious, Bob, as to why you are so interested in the source > availability.

I am interested, because it was promised at one point, and (again....sigh) I wanted to thank you guys for placing it with contribs.org. I can send another reply to your reply to this message, and repeat myself again if necessary. i.e. If you like to hear me respond with thank you, I can keep doing that.
