There is an old adage about assumptions, I am sure you know what it is. Maybe I am just ignoring you. Maybe, just maybe, my mail system has been sideways for a week, and this is the first time I have been able to sit down and properly catch up on emails. You decide what answer suits you best. >=20 > if that is the case, what is the step forward here?

If you would like to take over the licensing stuff, I will be happy to assign your name to it.
