For DictionaryReader, that's okay with me. As I removed my write access to the SVN, you'll have to change the license on your own, though. I hereby officially allow the members of the Etoile project to relicense my parts of DictionaryReader to the MIT license as stated on http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.html . A copy of this e-mail has been sent to the Etoile-Developers mailing list. For Grr, I'd like to allow you to use the architecture, but I'd like the application to stay free. It's okay with me if you relicense my parts of the files in the top level directory to the MIT license, so that you can use them for your own applications. As for anything in the "Components" subdirectory, please keep this GPL'd. (Grr as a whole will in turn be GPL'd, too, then.) Take care with relicensing files in the top level directory, though! Quite a few of these files include code which I copied from the GPL'd GNUMail.app by Ludovic Marcotte. Are these licenses okay with you? As a side note: In case you want to base your own application architecture on Grr's architecture, here are two points you may wish to consider: - It's possibly needed on OSX to put the application's core components into a framework, just like GNUMail did. This seems to make including the core headers easier. Maybe Ludovic can provide you with more information on this. - The whole mechanism of passing article sets between components is a bit more complicated than it needs to be. If I was to rewrite the application, I'd probably strip it down.
