        Sure, but from what I read in the Working Groups proposal, it was not
clear that the participants in the project had any rights to the resulting
code.  It is one thing to do something and make it PD, and quite another to
be part of a WG.  I'd hate to have to ask Commodore for the write to use my
own code :^(.

        I'm not saying that this was the intent of the proposal, but I think
it probably made a pass through the attorney's office at some point.  I don't
think I could even participate in such a thing without violating other
contractual obligations.


                                                Thanks,


                                                                Wade.
