Is it the statement that you want? Like the one I wrote when I tarred up the sources and uploaded them to the ftp server a while back? I can write another one saying "Yeah, it's all for the FSF, please anyone who wants to use any of that code, do it," if that makes a difference in your mind. No one in the Apple developer tools department -- up through our VP -- wants anything but to contribute this code to the FSF source bases. > > The async code in the last Apple drop and the async code in the Apple CVS repo are very nearly identical - we got that working long ago, and we only fix an occasional bug a couple times a year. Mark Newman, who is currently working on async, has had concerns raised by his legal counsel about him taking code from an apple repository. Rather than run around in circles over this, I figured it would be easier to just get you to bundle up a snapshot and shoot it over. That way, we can side step the lawyers. Andrew
