That would be correct. This actually brings up a larger can of worms. Should there be an "official" license for P5EE. If so, the obvious candidate would "the same as Perl itself" since that is the de facto Perl standard. I do think that P5EE _will_ need an official license because if we want to really promote the use of pluggable components we have to make sure that they all have the same license. -dave /*================== www.urth.org We await the New Sun ==================*/
