Peter,

Thanks for the patch.  Unfortunately, I cannot incorporate it into libLAS 
unless Martin gives his blessing to license it under the BSD license that 
libLAS is released under.  In the past, he had done so for the port of his 
LAStools utilities that currently exist in libLAS, but we haven't done any more 
updates or porting of his updates to libLAS due to the fogginess of the 
licensing issues.

Martin,

If you could apply the BSD license 
<http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php> to a LICENSE.txt or 
headers of your LAStools code to clarify the licensing status of LAStools, we 
would not have to continually ask to incorporate your LAStools updates into 
libLAS.  Additionally, if that's something you're not interested in, you should 
let the community know so they do not make the mistake of assuming your 
LAStools code can be freely incorporated in any other software without 
consequence.

Thanks,

Howard_______________________________________________
