Hi C. Hutchinson, some questions / remarks. Using the command `diff -nruw' I see no no code addition / improvement However, you have changed the original license and and added your name and BSDforge as additional Copyright holder. - * Copyright 2003 Sönke Tesch. All rights reserved. - * Version 20031023 + * Copyright 2003 Sönke Tesch. All rights reserved. + * Copyright 2014 C Hutchinson, All rights reserved. Some reasons why I additional dislike the License change: + * 4. Neither the name of BSDforge, nor the names of its contributors + * may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this + * software without specific prior written permission. + * ... - * THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED ``AS IS'' AND ANY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED + * THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE PERLWATCH ORGANIZATION ''AS IS'' AND My personal opinion: I see no code improvements that allows such Lic. changes (cleanup whites paces and using iconv to convert a file from ISO-8859 to UTF-8 was never a reason to add an individual to the Copyright or allow to change the License terms. I have contacted the original src. Author from mod_log_mysql, so please be patient and stay tuned until I have feedback from Sönke. -- Regards, olli
