Hi, folks!

I released the source code under the GPL. That means, every human being on this planet (maybe any other being, too, but IANAL) has the right to modify the code, use the binaries, etc. Everybody has the right to release a modified, bug fixed, whatever-done-to-it version under the terms of the GPL. I really don't have a clue if it's possible to revoke a once given GPL but even if it's possible I don't plan on doing so. Additionally to this open GPL branch, there is a closed source "branch" that has a more restrictive license attached to it. Additionally. This does not affect the open source Yanoff in any way. Else I wouldn't have given Gregg the license to modify Yanoff and I guess the same holds true for Jan-Pascal. > I do not own a credit card, but if Yanoff 2.0 will be so great as it > seems, I could think of buying it when I'll get a job and some money. Gosh. This is the internet! You /need/ a credit card. How else would you pay your Amazon orders, your internet pizza, your micropayment accounts? :-) Bye! Matthias Jordan -- - BLAM! BLAM! Stop! BLAM!
