Er... That page is terribly outdated. The project has gone through many
changes after I set up the page.
And I'm curious to know how you got that link, since I only told 5
guys about it. :-)
I will try to update it later, but I am really busy these days, so
I'm not sure when I'll be able to do that.

I am trying to understand the implications of sayin "GPL v2 or a later
version". GPL v3 seems to have problems with cryptography (and in
particular, that project can be used to hide source code, which is
something RMS would not like, I guess)
If it's released as "v2 or later", then someone writes a plugin and
releass it under v3, and well, I'm not sure that would be good.

What I did was to encrypt packets and store them in another database.
For other VC systems, I plan to encrypt deltas and any meta-information
necessary to rebuild the database.

Exactly! :-)
