Ha!  You got me on that one then.  You need to put more smiley faces in your
comments ;-)

I am sure there will be discussion.  The good thing is when like-minded
people get together and produce something good.  Last week I received some
solid "Stateful CGI Router" code from Rory Hewitt that will add nicely to
RPGUI.  The code will be added to the source repository as soon as I can run
some more tests and wrap my head around it.

Nathan has chose to not participate at a code level, though he is open to
critiquing it seems (which is actually quite valuable if I can keep my trap
shut and not take it as a stab :-)

I have learned a lot from this discussion and it has caused the RPGUI
project to head in a "safer" direction (i.e. BSD or MIT related
frameworks).  Because of this thread I will also be changing RPGUI to some
other license that gives much more freedom and safety to consumers.
Obviously I don't have license to change Mihael's license, but I should be
able to work with his LGPL approach I think.  Unless maybe he would consider
a BSD or MIT license.
