OK, I'm confused. First, I am NOT a lawyer, but having said that, if you
look at the license on the ibm site for CGIDEV2 it's really clear that
anyone can modify the code and redistribute both the original and the
modified versions. So, what does Giovanni need permission for, and
what's IBM withholding. Seems to me Giovanni could just put the code on
his site and he'd be doing nothing wrong.
