Oh well, I don't understand all this licensing stuff. So do you understand this license? What about derived works. Does that mean it is not possible to modify this library and redistribute the modified version?
In particular, as a C++ library it is no use to me unmodified. There are also some functions I'd like to add, and the calling convention is the opposite to what I use. So basically I'd have to modify it to make it useful. Bill.
