(unless you want to change the license of old revisions too) for the bulk of it, that is likely still axel, but there have been a bunch of new contributors since, most notably of course ridiculous_fish. greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life hackerspace beijing - http://societyserver.org/hackerspace-beijing/ -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net foresight developer realss.com foresightlinux.org unix sysadmin trainer developer societyserver.org Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing AppDynamics Lite, a free troubleshooting tool for Java/.NET Get 100% visibility into your production application - at no cost.
