hey mike, good to hear from you. you're right that all the work i did while at berkeley is property of the UC Regents. the issue here is about a PHP class i used as a template engine for building the web front-end. i'm confident that we can replace the template engine with a BSD friendly engine without angering the regent gods. i want ganglia to continue, as it always has, being distributed as BSD code. sorry guys that i missed the license on that file. -matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
