Re: New work for sacred working group?

Hi Eric,

This [1] is the relevant license, right? Too hard to read
this late in what's been a very nice summer's day here (i.e.
I'm off home now:-)

One question though: did you mean that you'd support doing
more work here, or are you saying there's no need since
you've already released your stuff?

Cheers,
Stephen (also nothing like a lawyer).
