I don't have any other choice here than to permit re-licencing the code. My 04-Aug-2004 18:04:46 +0300 posting where I denied re-licencing right was completely wrong. I'm sorry about that. For loop-AES users I uploaded a patch here that updates licenses to be GPL-compatible: http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/updates/aes-GPL.diff -- Jari Ruusu 1024R/3A220F51 5B 4B F9 BB D3 3F 52 E9 DB 1D EB E3 24 0E A9 DD
