Tilo,

If it were my choice, I would let you.  Unfortunately, CVS has quite a 
few people with copyright stakes in it and tracking them all down to ask 
would most likely present some difficulty.

Everyone else,

Anyone know if there is any significance to the copy of the GNU LGPL 
distributed in the COPYING.LIB file in the top level of the CVS source 
distribution?  The few source files I peeked at all specify the General 
Public License.

I often speculate on why you don't return to America.  Did you abscond with the
church funds?  Did you run off with the senator's wife?  I like to think that
you killed a man.  It's the romantic in me.
