Mark-

Thanks for following up.  The delta I sent has only GPLv2 licenses (no JRL
licenses), so I'm all set to push those changes after merging with the
latest.

(As always, IANAL and this does not constitute legal advice.)


For intellectual property matters I get my legal advice from Stuart Clark of
Carr and Ferrell LLP <http://www.carrferrell.com/attorneys_clark.html>.  :-)

Neal
