No, i'm the sole author of audio_pt_int.c, and i've chosen to put it into public domain, the notice is sufficient to indicate my desire. As for wavcapture.c the changes by others (yourself included) boil down to mechanical renaming of some function calls, i'd rather revert that and redo it myself (or ask someone to do it) if "we" are feeling strongly about it. FWIW [winwave|pa]audio.c had the same comment since inception and in case of paaudio.c Marc-André Lureau's basically redid the interaction with pa but left the header intact. aes.c says: This code is hereby placed in the public domain. Followed by some legalese to disclaim warranties. d3des.c: A portable, public domain, version of the Data Encryption Standard. Followed by Copyright (c) 1988,1989,1990,1991,1992 by Richard Outerbridge. which i do not follow since either thing is in public domain or has some copy restrictions. In any case this all is bordering insanity, what next? Follow FSF even closer and demand everything to be GPL and faxing hand signed ownership transfer papers somewhere? -- mailto:av1474@comtv.ru --33734824-487857108-1353464698=:2414--
