If the code is functional, and the contributor is willing to commit to cleaning up rough edges over the short-term future, it should be allowed to go in. : In the past I've suggested that code like this be parked on a branch : while the problems are resolved (no one has actually taken me up on this : though). [...] I'm not too surprised -- being parked on a separate branch is perhaps a bit like being placed into a penalty box (if you pardon the hockey analogy). : Anyway, before doing even this, things would still need to be ok on the : licencing side. That's right though. - FChE
