Hi all, Before Savannah agree to host Pixie they have some requests regarding=20 the GPL (see below). This decision is really up to Fotango as it=20 relates to licensing -- I can make the changes if need be (though must=20= admit I find copyright notices at the beginning of each file annoying..=20= it's also more perl-ish to have them at the end). Fotango should also=20= consider including the Artistic license if we go down this route. There are two other options: I can try bringing Pixie to Sourceforge,=20 or if Fotango grants me CVS access we can leave the repository where it=20= is for the moment. Let me know what the decision is.
