  43 OK, I'll think about it then.
  44 I won't be near a computer during the christmas hollidays, so this will
  45 be postponed to after the hollidays I think.
  46
  47 &gt;<i> &gt;Furthermore, I think the Affero GPL would be more appropriate for
  48 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;an irc services package. (see <A HREF="http://www.affero.org/oagpl.html">http://www.affero.org/oagpl.html</A> for the

  51 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;for an article explaining the changes).

  53 </I>&gt;<i>      Thanks for the link--I'll look into it.  (But not today--I'm going
  54 </I>&gt;<i> out of town shortly for the next few days.)

  56 Please do. I'm not sure yet whether I would like this project to be
  57 released under &quot;GPL v.2 or later&quot;, or Affero GPL. Maybe (&quot;Affero GPL&quot; OR
  58 &quot;GPL &gt; v.2&quot;) might be a better choice, because I really like this 2.d
  59 section. But this would require some documentation to explain this
  60 choice :)
